Our Team.
Invest in South DeKalb is led by a passionate and diverse team of community advocates, media professionals, urban development experts, and civic leaders united by a shared commitment to the growth and empowerment of South DeKalb County.
Together, Maurice Raeford, Lindsey Crawford, Evyn Harris, and Donna P. Brown bring a wealth of experience spanning urban planning and community finance, public education, environmental justice, and political engagement. This blend of expertise allows ISD to approach community development from every angle — from the classroom to the boardroom, from the environment to the halls of government.
Rooted in South DeKalb and driven by its people, the ISD team believes that lasting change comes from within the community. Their collective work is guided by one simple principle: when South DeKalb is informed, inspired, and invested in, everyone wins.
