The Civic League for Regional Atlanta

It’s an event sure to be bigger than the Oscars, better than the Super Bowl, and way more glamorous than the Miss America pageant, and you can get your tickets right HERE!  Deadline for reservations is February 15.

Please join us for The Civic League’s annual What’s Right with the Region dinner on Thursday, Feb. 25 at TWELVE at Atlantic Station. Highlights this year include:

• Keynote speaker Chris Gates, executive director of Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE), a national organization that brings attention and focus to the issues of civic engagement and encourages the philanthropic community to make civic engagement a funding priority.

• Regional Excellence Awards presented to the Atlanta Regional Commission Area Agency on Aging, the Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Trees Atlanta, and Horace Sibley for his work with the United Way Regional Commission on Homelessness.

• The Civic League’s Founders’ Award presented to Jim Rhoden, chairman of Futren Corporation and a true believer in the critical need for a cohesive Atlanta.

Last week The Civic League unveiled a new tool called “Neighborhood Contacts".  Developed for the benefit of The Civic League and all of the citizens of the Atlanta region, Neighborhood Contacts is a growing database that will enable us to better connect with communities throughout the region; give individuals a resource for connecting with their own communities; and create opportunities for neighborhood associations to collaborate and share their best ideas with their peers around the region. 

Thanks to all who attended The Civic League’s final Neighborhood Forum on public health and health care, held on Jan. 19 in Norcross. The event report is now available on The Civic League web site along with reports from all earlier Neighborhood Forums.
