The well‑known and well‑loved Ross Cavitt joined the East Cobb Civic association (ECCA) as the featured speaker for the March ECCA General Meeting. Mr. Cavitt recently retired from Cobb County after eight years as Communications Director, following a distinguished 30‑year career in Atlanta as a News Reporter and Bureau Chief at WSB‑TV.
His perspective—shaped by decades of reporting across Atlanta and around the world, and later by his leadership in Cobb County government—made for an entertaining and fascinating conversation. He shared stories from the field, insights from covering major national and international events, and reflections on the evolving landscape of local news and public communication.
During his time with Cobb County, Mr. Cavitt oversaw the department responsible for all aspects of county communications, including CobbTV, which broadcasts county meetings and assists departments in producing videos to highlight their programs. His work helped strengthen transparency, accessibility, and public engagement throughout the county.
Pictured above is ECCA’s President Richard Grome greeting Ross Cavitt to speak at the general meeting. The public is always welcome to hear a different speaker each month. ECCA’s next meeting is April 29 to be held at the Wellstar Health Park on Roswell Road at 7:00 pm.
