Congratulations to former Senator Dan Moody on his election to Ga DOT Board

From the Atlanta Business Chronicle:

Metro Atlanta got two new representatives on the State Transportation Board Thursday, while a third won re-election.

In the biggest surprise of the day, 20-year veteran board member Emory McClinton lost his seat to businesswoman Stacey Key, president of GBK Enterprises Inc., which owns and operates a local Bruster’s Real Ice Cream restaurant.

Key also is president and CEO of the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council Inc., which seeks to foster opportunities for minority-owned businesses with state agencies and local governments.

Key will represent Georgia’s 5^th Congressional District, which includes Atlanta, part of southern DeKalb County and northern Clayton County.

Also elected to the DOT Board Thursday was former state Sen. Dan Moody of Johns Creek, who will represent the suburban 6^th Congressional District, which takes in North Fulton, North DeKalb and East Cobb counties.

Moody will fill a vacancy left by Brandon Beach, who was elected to the state Senate last month.

DOT Board member Dana Lemon of McDonough was re-elected Thursday to represent the 13^th Congressional District, which stretches through parts of Henry, Clayton, Fayette, Fulton, Douglas and Cobb counties. This will be Lemon’s third five-year term.
