“Over the past few years, we have been able to foster better relationships between the City and Atlanta’s nightlife community, and we have seen some real results,” Dickens said. “Training Day workshops, direct outreach and other avenues have delivered tangibles where residents, visitors and operators are all able to enjoy the thriving scene our city has to offer. We look forward to Kristin joining the team and continuing to build on these relationships for a safe and flourishing nightlife scene.”

It is unclear what these training day workshops would entail.

Previously, Edwards worked as the Director of Special Events and Facilities for the City of Winder and before that as a Member Services Events Manager for the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce for Duluth.
