Savannah welcomes Georgia Municipal Association for annual convention

SAVANNAH (Aug. 6) – The City of Savannah is excited to welcome the Georgia Municipal Association, representing all 537 of Georgia's cities, for its annual convention from Aug. 6 to 10 and is committed to hosting the event safely.

Consistent with the CDC guidance, GMA recommends that all convention delegates wear face masks during meetings and convention activities, which is also consistent with Savannah's mask mandate.

"GMA leadership has been overly communicative with all their members throughout the convention planning process to keep us informed about evolving safety precautions as conditions and CDC guidance has changed," said Mayor Van R. Johnson, II. "As mayor of this great city and a proud board member of GMA, I am confident that my fellow elected officials will respect both Savannah's mask requirement and GMA's convention mask plan." 

The city looks forward to welcoming the dedicated city leaders visiting and investing in our local economy during this weekend's convention and ensuring a safe and meaningful event for all.
