MISSION STATEMENT
To promote the unique identity of the Sandy Springs business community via open communication, local leadership, mobilizing resources and garnering support for projects to enhance this city's competitive position in metro-Atlanta, the state and the Southeast

SSPC HISTORY
SSPC was created by SSRI in 1999 in response to concerns voiced by the business community regarding the lack of identity and cohesive communication focus in Sandy Springs. SSPC served critical functions to the business district in unincorporated Fulton County (now the City of Sandy Springs) sandwiched between the city of Atlanta and the city of Roswell.

SSPC strives to make Sandy Springs a premier destination for businesses and shoppers. The non-profit organization addresses issues that are vital to both individual businesses and the quality of life in Sandy Springs by supporting initiatives to improve the appearance, function and over all economic health of the Roswell Road business district.

Promotional and outreach efforts include marketing programs and events to foster communication amongst the business community such as forums to learn about issues affecting them, to meet with elected officials and to network.

SSPC serves a role fulfilled by no other in Sandy Springs, as a voice for the business community with local and regional governmental bodies. In the private sector, the association actively markets Sandy Springs to a broader national audience via influential commercial real estate services to attract quality business.
