MALLARD HOLLIDAY TO RUN FOR DUNWOODY CITY COUNCIL
DISTRICT 1 AT LARGE

DUNWOODY, GA—Mallard Holliday (39) announced today that he will run for the Dunwoody City Council at large, District 1 post. Holliday is an executive board member of Citizens for Dunwoody, Inc. and has been involved in the cityhood effort since the group’s formation in 2005.

“We need a business-like approach to the city and it needs to be run by council members who are fiscally conservative and understand the budget and planning work that’s been done to-date,” said Holliday. “After elections, there’s a very short time period before the city starts. I’ve been involved since day one and I understand the plan and the budget requirements.”

In making the announcement, Holliday cited his service to Citizens for Dunwoody and his more than 15 years experience in business including managing multi-million dollar budgets and in working with local, state and national non-profits and community organizations.

“I’ve spent the majority of my career in community relations working to bring together businesses and non-profits to better communities,” Holliday said. “I hope to continue to work for Dunwoody by serving on the council during this critical start-up phase.”

In addition to Citizens for Dunwoody, Holliday is a trustee of the Georgia 4-H Foundation, board member of the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education and serves on the Children’s Council at Dunwoody United Methodist Church.

Holliday is a public relations executive for a telecommunications company. He is a life-long resident of Georgia and lives in Dunwoody with his wife Pam and their three children Alex, Jane and Tori. Their son Alex attends Austin Elementary School and daughter Jane attends Dunwoody United Methodist Church Preschool. Holliday is a graduate of the State University of West Georgia where he majored in mass communications and minored in business. He holds certificates in community relations, marketing and public affairs from Boston College, Emory University and George Washington University respectively.
