About Jim Thornton
As Deputy Executive Director of the Georgia Municipal Association, I lead GMA’s advocacy, training, member services, and content development teams, working to ensure that Georgia’s 536 cities have the tools, knowledge, and voice they need to thrive. As the former mayor of LaGrange, I’ve seen firsthand how strong local leadership and effective partnerships can transform communities. At GMA, our goal is to equip and serve city leaders as they serve their residents with excellence.
