Forest Park City Council Ward 1

MY MESSAGE TO YOU

You are more than a number to me! “Let’s talk to affect the decisions with youth and seniors, construction, neighborhood beautification, industrial development, and disparity in police services!”

We have ignored our community needs too long. Bring back decency and respect. Let’s have more community involvement and less city influence; a less fragmented community.

You should know your neighbors and their needs. If you see something wrong, then do something about it. If you complain, be ready to help make a change.

BIO

The United States Postal Service’s own Councilwoman SPARKLE K. ADAMS has placed her stamp on the City of Forest Park, the United States Air Force, and the United States Postal Inspection Service, in addition to her community, civic organizations, her church, and her family.

In the City of Forest Park, GA, Sparkle K. Adams became the first African American elected to the city council in November 2005. Another African American historical event occurred in 2008 when Sparkle K. Adams was appointed Mayor Pro Tem of the City of Forest Park by unanimous vote. She is politically astute as she engages herself in conversation with her constituents, peers, and superiors in local, national, and global issues. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Forest Park Street School. To her credit, she was instrumental in engaging the Forest Park Street School with the Local Redevelopment Authority that is strategically planning to rebuild the closed Ft. Gillem Army Base.

Councilwoman Adams consistently demonstrates her commitment to community by heightening her visibility and accessibility to her constituents. She has demonstrated her commitment through her creation of a Teen and Junior Council and her identification of neighborhood Block Captains. Councilwoman Adams volunteers in the Gang Intervention Program at Babb Middle School where she created and implemented a program called “Make It Happen”. Make It Happen brings professional artists, musicians, cosmetologists, and other entrepreneurs recruited by Councilwoman Adams to Babb Middle School to speak, to share, and to inspire. Her goal is to recognize, celebrate and develop community awareness. She gives freely and unselfishly of her time to community activities and inspires others. She has a positive impact upon the direction and success of community projects, programs, and individuals to improve the lives of others.

As Master Sergeant Sparkle K. Adams, she dedicated 25 years of honorable and distinguished service to the United States Air Force and Air Force Reserves. During her military career, Master Sergeant Adams served as an Air Traffic Controller, Supervisor Air Cargo Special Handling, Family Support Specialist, Military Equal Opportunity Specialist, Honor Guard, and Group Career Advisor. Master Sergeant Adams was selected to prepare a presentation at the Pentagon to represent the Air Force Reserves before Congress on Re-Inventing Government Award for the Georgia Inter-service Family Assistance Committee on the Family Readiness Initiative.

Mrs. Adams is a member of the Atlanta Chapter Tuskegee Airmen where she goes to schools, churches, businesses, and other organizations to speak about the famed World War II Tuskegee Airmen. She has served in the capacity of Public Relations chairperson and Chaplain.

Then, as the saying goes, there is her “day job” with the United States Postal Inspection Service. From the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Defense and through the United States Postal Service, Sparkle K. Adams has been a stellar performer. Sparkle sojourned from letter sorting machine operator to sales associate, to mail recovery clerk, into the Postal Inspection Service.

Over the years, Sparkle has been a member of the Women’s Advisory Council, a Steward for the American Postal Workers Union, an analyst for the International Association of Law Enforcement, a member of the Northern Georgia Identity Theft Task Force, a member of the Suspicious Activity Report Team, a member of the Diversity Advisory Group, and has served three times as a key worker for the Combined Federal Campaign.

In her work with the Postal Inspection Service, Sparkle has earned several Exceptional and Outstanding Performance Awards, and recognition for doing great things. Sparkle has been a significant team contributor to successful prosecutions of criminals through her participation on Mail Theft, Violent Crimes, Narcotics and Money Laundering investigations teams and several Identity Theft Task Forces. Sparkle spearheaded the creation and development of the diversity initiative presently used in the Atlanta Division of the Postal Inspection Service. She created a charter and organized several sub-committees currently used to guide the Inspection Service Diversity Program nationwide.

Sparkle K. Adams is a coordinator, educator, collaborator, and motivator, just to name a few positive “ATOR’s”. She and her husband, Bernard Adams, are renown in their community for having cookouts with plenty food for friends and neighbors. She is active in Ben Hill United Methodist Church and it’s so famous “Majestic Choir”. She and her husband collectively have four children, and four grandchildren.
