WHAT LEADERSHIP ATLANTA ALUMNI HAVE TO SAY "The programs were informative, timely and energizing. While not forgetting our past, the programs spoke to today's Atlanta and the issues facing us in the foreseeable future. The focus was on real world happenings, not esoteric prognostications. But in the end what I'll carry with me are the many interesting, intelligent and caring friends." --Luis Aguilar, Class of 2003 Partner, Alston & Bird, LLP “Leadership Atlanta was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. It helped me to reposition my world into a much larger matrix.” --Leona Barr-Davenport, Class of 2002 President, Atlanta Business League “During my year with Leadership Atlanta, I transitioned from a relative newcomer to this city to someone who feels she has the connections, knowledge and passion to consider herself a shareholder. Leadership Atlanta will make you the best community citizen you can be.” --Susan Booth, Class of 2003 Artistic Director, The Alliance Theatre “Having graduated from Leadership Atlanta more than 25 years ago, I can say unequivocally that the hundreds of other graduates who have taken their place as business and community leaders form the most comprehensive network in Metro Atlanta. While the year-long program was an eye-opening learning experience, the opportunity to get to know and work with the other graduates may be even more valuable.” --Jim Breedlove, Class of 1975 Director, External Affairs, BellSouth Corporation "Leadership
Atlanta weaves together relationships which are critical for us
to address challenges and opportunities before our city. It is a
rich experience." “Leadership Atlanta is the most insightful program of its
kind. Through the eyes and minds of other community leaders –
many of whom are now friends – I learned much more about myself.
That was the most unexpected reward of the program.” “Through this year-long program, I saw Atlanta in completely
new ways. I learned about resources and problems; I dreamed about
solutions and possibilities. I also began to see myself in new ways
and to imagine the great opportunities to make a difference. I was
particularly inspired by the members of my class and previous classes
who demonstrated leadership in many diverse fields, including business,
government, law, and education. I expect to observe and experience
their influence on a daily basis in the years to come.” "Leadership Atlanta opened my eyes to the opportunities available
to people ready to take on the responsibility of helping make Metro
Atlanta a better place to live, do business and play. The connections,
of course, are awesome. Few days go by that I don't turn to my LA
directory to get the number of a former classmate who I can turn
to for aid in accomplishing my new job of creating a more vibrant
arts community in metro Atlanta." “Leadership Atlanta begins as an educational journey and
ends as a spiritual awakening. In the beginning we only saw the
physical characteristics of one another, but at the end, we understand
the character of our classmates and began trusting the goodness
in each of us.” “The Leadership Atlanta experience taught me how to more
effectively integrate my own community into the greater Metro Atlanta
community. But Leadership Atlanta continues beyond graduation. My
biggest reward is to remain part of a continuing educational process
and a network of leaders committed to making a positive impact in
Atlanta.” |
