Governor Nathan Deal announced today that he will be appointing his former deputy chief of staff of communications Brian Robinson to the board that oversees the Georgia World Congress Center. You can read the announcement for yourself:
Robinson is the owner of Robinson Republic, a communications consulting firm. He previously served as the deputy chief of staff for communications for Gov. Nathan Deal after serving as the communications director during Deal’s 2010 campaign. Robinson was named to the University of Georgia’s 2012 “40 Under 40” class and is an alumnus of the 2015 Leadership Georgia class. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia. Robinson and his wife, Corinna, have one daughter. They are members of Peachtree Presbyterian Church and reside in Brookhaven.
Timing is everything, just ask the cameraman from The Weather Channel who covered the implosion yesterday, so I’m sure that this was announced after the Georgia Dome came down so that jokes wouldn’t be made at his expense. I just hope that, as the newest board member, he won’t have to Swiffer the dust off of the new Mercedes Benz Stadium.
