Fulton County received grants for four internships as part
of the 2017 Summer Georgia County Internship Program (GCIP). Two internships
were awarded to the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management (DREAM) and
two internships were awarded to the External Affairs Department. On May 30,
2017, Fulton County held a Meet and Greet for their interns where they received
an official welcome by Fulton County staff, networked, heard overviews about
various Fulton County departments, and learned about the value of internships.
ACCG Director of Civic and Intergovernmental Affairs, David Hankerson and ACCG
Research and Policy Development Director, Michele NeSmith, were asked to
participate in the program by providing an overview of GCIP.
During the program, the interns heard from
County Manager, Dick Anderson; Special Manager to the Chairman for Community
Engagement, Gloria Neal; Director of External Affairs, Jessica Corbitt; Grant
Management Office for the Finance Department, Angela Ash; Deputy Human Resources
Director, Stacey Jones; and Roy Estell (Program Manager), Tim Diamond (Real
Estate Division), and Joe Davis (Asset Management Division) of the DREAM. Time
was also dedicated in the program to allow the interns to introduce themselves
to the attendees. Following the program, a staff lunch was provided where
additional Fulton County staff were on hand to welcome the new interns.
This summer, Meera Gorjala and Marcus
Gamble will be working with the External Affairs Department. Gorjala, who is
currently attending the University of Southern California as an Environmental
Studies and Policy, Planning, and Development major will be working with
legislative staff to help monitor legislative issues for the county. Gamble, a
Mass Communications major at Clark Atlanta University, will be working with
communications staff on their TV programming and communications needs. Yuming "Maggie" Zou is an Integrated
Facility and Property Management major at Georgia Tech. Zou will be working
with DREAM on facilities management projects. A second intern will be joining
her in the department in June.
Funding for the GCIP is made available through the ACCG
