Council events provide opportunities to network, exchange knowledge, and celebrate leadership excellence.

Throughout the year, the Council hosts a variety of events, ranging from monthly Advisory Meetings to our annual Signature Events. Every event is a chance for Council members to interact, make new connections, and recognize others for their contributions. Members can take advantage of unique opportunities to engage with other like-minded leaders in the development community across metro Atlanta.
