The Atlanta Women’s Foundation has introdced a new inititiave, Inspire Atlanta, a comprehensive seven-month course that will provide a unique leadership opportunity to a diverse group of professional women who are looking to ignite their passion for creating positive change for women in Atlanta.
Inspire Atlanta will focus on three main areas – personal development, leadership development and philanthropic development. Participants will meet many of the dynamic corporate and civic leaders associated with AWF, connect with other women professionals and explore the critical issues facing women and girls locally. They will also manage an individual fundraising campaign to support the mission of AWF.
