As 2024 comes to a close, we are excited to share the final edition of the newsletter for the year. This year has been an eventful for Cobb Collaborative, our members, and our valued partner organizations. We are deeply grateful to our incredible community, partners, and supporters—your dedication and contributions are the heart of our success! Thanks to you, we continue to drive our mission forward and make meaningful impacts.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are eager to build on this year's achievements and carry our momentum forward. Some highlights of initiatives coming in early 2025:
- Resiliency Week 2025 will be held February 3-7, 2025. This full week of activities will be focused on growing a more resilient Cobb County. Advocates will have multiple opportunities to share best practices and help to build a more trauma-informed and resilient Cobb community.
- Connecting Cobb Veterans is expanding its scope and rebranding to Connecting Georgia Veterans. Look for our new cgvets.org website to go live on January 1.
- We continue to expand our Basics offerings as we see the impact in our local community.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible Coffee with the Collaborative sponsors — The Insurance Connection and Cay Communications — for their generous support. Their commitment and partnership have been instrumental in making these events a success.
We thank them for being champions of our mission and helping us make a difference. We truly couldn’t do it without them!

Cobb County Special Election Dates
The Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration recently set the dates of the Special Elections for Cobb County Commissioner Districts 2 and 4.
- Qualifying will happen Dec. 18 - 20.
- The Primary Election will take place on Feb. 11.
- The Runoff Election (if necessary) will take place March 11.
- The General Special Election will be April 29.
The board had to wait until after November's General Election to set these dates, as they depended on a possible runoff (no runoff was necessary). Advance voting will be available for these contests at select locations. Only Cobb Commission Districts 2 and 4 voters will be eligible to vote in this special election.
A Cobb County Superior Court Judge ordered this special election after ruling the county's use of home rule powers to draw its commission maps was unconstitutional.
