“Alpharetta stands out for its good governance and exciting opportunities, and I’m really looking forward to enhancing the city’s influence throughout the state and region,” said Swain. “My goal is to build bridges within our community and encourage residents and businesses to take an active role in shaping the future of Alpharetta.
Swain’s dedication to community empowerment extends beyond her professional roles. She has a background in civic leadership; she is on the Board of Directors for No Longer Bound and a Rotary Club of North Fulton member. Through her work with TeenPact Leadership Schools, where she found her enthusiasm for civic involvement by guiding young people toward public service, Swain has also actively mentored future leaders.
