Elected to her first term as a council representative during the 2001 elections, Councilwoman Norwood plans to draw on her years of grassroots experience to forge consensus and find solutions to city problems.

With over 10 years of community activism under her belt, Norwood, an Emory University graduate, has become an expert in environmental, preservation, zoning, traffic, public safety, housing and homeless issues.

She led the Atlanta Clean City Commission during the city's Olympic preparations and has served on the Mayor's Task Force for Race and Diversity. She has served on the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce's Transportation Council, the Atlanta Regional Commission's neighborhood and economic development task force and has worked with the Atlanta Preservation Center.

She organized a grassroots effort to find answers to the city's wastewater problems. The program, known as CLEAN, raised over $100,000 in funds that were used to alleviate wastewater that was polluting the city's streams.

Norwood drew upon her experience as a community organizer to launch One Call Systems, a computer telephone business that was started in 1992. Norwood Communications also owns OneCallWeb.com. Previously, Norwood was executive vice president of Rounsaville Radio Stations.
