Global Atlanta Works Advisory Committee

The Global Atlanta Works Advisory Committee (PDF) was established in response to increasing diversity as a result of significant changing demographics in the Atlanta region.  This diverse group of civic, business, education, government, non-profit and community leaders will help guide the Global Atlanta Works program by developing strategies and making recommendations that will maximize the input of minorities in regional planning.  Their work will influence implementation of regional policies with lasting positive impact on future growth.
