Join the Cobb Chamber at the first Marietta Area Council of the year on March 18 for an engaging conversation featuring the newly elected members of the Marietta City Council— Tee Anderson, Daniel Gaddis, and Jason Waters, moderated by Brittney Gray of Visit Marietta. Attendees will hear directly from these leaders about their vision, priorities, and plans for collaborations as they begin shaping Marietta’s next chapter.
Councilman Tee Anderson, a Marietta native, is raising his three children—also students in Marietta City Schools—with his wife, Veronica. With a background in finance from the University of Alabama and professional experience as a builder and developer, Anderson brings a balanced perspective on smart growth and fiscal responsibility. His service on the Planning Commission and the Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society reflects his dedication to preserving Marietta’s character while planning responsibly for the future.
Councilman Daniel Gaddis, an AICP-certified city planner and Ward 3 representative, brings deep expertise in housing, economic development, and effective governance. Since making Marietta home in 2011, he has invested in the community through leadership at Stonebridge Church and service with the Kiwanis Flag Project supporting scholarships for Marietta High School graduates. A devoted husband and father of two sons in Marietta City Schools, Gaddis is passionate about fostering thoughtful growth and a vibrant future for families across the city.
Councilman Jason Waters, a Cobb County native, small business owner, and Certified Financial Planner, has spent more than a decade serving Marietta families. After 12 years on the Marietta Board of Education—four of them as Board Chair—he now continues his work on City Council with a focus on responsible budgeting, strong schools, public safety, and protecting the neighborhoods that make Marietta special. Waters and his wife are proud to be raising their three children in the Marietta City Schools system, reinforcing his commitment to keeping the city strong for generations to come.
