From the venue:
This preeminent event brings together powerful women in Atlanta to network, celebrate women’s leadership, and invest in programs that foster female empowerment. Our luncheon keynote speaker, Khaliya, will lead a panel discussion about the value of encouraging female entrepreneurship in order to promote community development.
Our luncheon keynote speaker, Khaliya, 2016 Middelthon-Candler Peace Prize recipient, will engage in a conversation with our panelists about Georgia’s potential to be a national example by investing in women and projects that empower communities. The panel will use examples such as the revitalization of Vine City and Historic Mims Park to demonstrate the progress already happening in Atlanta.
Leading the conversation will be Atlanta’s own Monica Kaufman Pearson, 2013 Middelthon-Candler Peace Prize recipient. Pearson will describe why investing in women’s economic empowerment is required for sustainable community development. Research shows that projects geared towards eradicating poverty and violence against women, as well as encouraging female entrepreneurship are crucial in enacting transformational change in society.
We will honor the work and legacy of 2016 Middelthon-Candler Justice Prize recipient First Lady Rosalynn Carter: Georgia’s trailblazer. Her legacy is one of the reasons why Georgia is considered a global thought leader on many social issues facing our nation today.
We look forward to your participation and to hearing your ideas about the transformation projects happening in Atlanta and throughout Georgia.
