Q1 General Membership Meeting

Join us as we hear from Leah Chan with the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute for an important conversation on the FY27 Georgia budget. Learn how funding decisions impact our community, services, and priorities. This is an excellent opportunity to hear updates, ask questions, and better understand where resources are going and why.

Leah Chan is the Director of Health Justice at Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. In her role, Leah focuses on research and advocacy that ensures all Georgians have a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible.

Prior to joining GBPI in February 2022, Leah worked for over a decade at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in strategic partnership, policy, and communication roles and focused on a range of public health priorities from suicide to autism. Among her many duties while at CDC, Leah had the opportunity to co-lead human-centered design projects focused on better understanding the lived experiences of those most disproportionately impacted by today’s urgent health crises and working alongside those communities to develop solutions. Leah holds a bachelor’s degree in Spanish from the University of Georgia and a master’s of public health from Emory University. Outside of work, Leah enjoys exploring the outdoors with her young kids, reading biographies, and trying new foods.

As the local coalition for the GA Family Connection Partnership, the Cobb Collaborative invites our cross-sector network of members to join us for our Quarterly General Membership Meeting (GMM). These gatherings are the heartbeat of our coalition, designed to equip our members with the latest knowledge, data, and resources to support families across Cobb County.

Each quarter, we dive deep into one of our core pillars of Literacy, Mental Health, or Civic Engagement. You will hear from subject matter experts, local leaders, and community advocates through keynote presentations and panel discussions that center on both professional expertise and lived experience.
