Sandy Springs Conservancy

Big news for Sandy Springs!

As we celebrate 25 years of enhancing parks, paths, and greenspace, the Sandy Springs Conservancy is excited to announce that John Maximuk has been named our new Executive Director!

Maximuk brings a powerful combination of community advocacy and government leadership, with experience spanning Fulton County, the City of Decatur, and the City of Chamblee. His passion for creating vibrant, connected communities makes him the perfect fit to lead us into our next chapter.

“Maximuk’s background across both community and government roles makes him exceptionally well-suited for this position,” said Board Chairman Jack Misiura. “He brings both the passion and expertise to deliver meaningful, lasting impact for our citizens.”
For more than 25 years, Maximuk has been deeply involved in planning and urban design, including work with the Livable Communities Coalition and ongoing leadership as Board Chair of the Architecture and Design Center.

Thanks to supporters like you, the Conservancy has helped raise over $1 million and partnered on impactful projects like:
• Morgan Falls Overlook Park
• Abernathy Greenway
• Lost Corner Nature Preserve
• The first segment of the Springway
Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand the Springway, connect to Path400, and improve access to the Chattahoochee River—continuing to enhance quality of life across our community.
Here’s to the next 25 years of connection, conservation, and community!
