ATLANTA (Aug. 2, 2022) — Join the Cobb Chamber for the next Cumberland Area Council on Aug. 17 where outgoing GBI Director Vic Reynolds will share how the community can band together to fight human trafficking and help victims find the support they need and get on the path to recovery.

Human trafficking impacts every race, every socio-economic background, every demographic and geographic area. Part of a region that is home to the world’s busiest airport, major interstates and large-scale events, Cobb County government, law enforcement and community officials have joined the statewide efforts to put an end to what is known as the fastest-growing illegal industry in the world. 

Reynolds and his team, work with multiple law enforcement agencies to create tactical plans to always be ready and to especially prepare for large events where victims are more likely to be taken. With Reynold’s recent appointment by Governor Brian Kemp to the Cobb Judicial Circuit Superior Court and his return to Cobb County, he will share what agencies in Cobb are doing with the local community to spread awareness.

Registration is open until August 15 at https://bit.ly/3zaZGFn. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and the program will begin promptly at noon at the Atlanta Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. Tickets are $25 for Cobb Chamber members and $35 for general admission. Walk-up admissions and payment cannot be granted.

This event is sponsored by Series Presenting Sponsor, Cobb Travel & Tourism, and Program Sponsor, Northside Hospital. For more information on Area Councils, contact Jani Dix at jdix@cobbchamber.org.
