Jack Misiura | LSS Class of 2015 – is Sandy Springs Conservancy Board Chair. Under his 6-year leadership, the conservancy has worked with the City and PATH Foundation to create the recreational trail plan and begin constructing the 1.8-mile Morgan Falls Trail – the City trail system that will eventually link to Buckhead and other bike/pedestrian trails throughout the Atlanta area. Jack also serves on the City’s Parks and Recreation Committee and represents the Conservancy on The Trust for Public Land’s Riverland Project – a big regional project to connect people to the outdoors – linking 19 cities, 7 counties, 42 water access points and 8 proposed campsites! He also hosts fun monthly breakfast or lunch “Meetings with Jack” to stay close to his 2015 LSS classmates!
