Galambos receives GMA award

Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos received the “People, Place and Purpose” Award from the Georgia Municipal Association on June 27 during the group’s annual meeting.

The one-time award recognized Galambos’ efforts to incorporate Sandy Springs and her leadership of the city, city officials said.

“If ever there was a person with a purpose and a love for a place, it is Mayor Eva Galambos,” said GMA Executive Director Jim Higdon. “For three decades, she led the fight to get the community of Sandy Springs changed to the ‘City of Sandy Springs.’”
