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:

• 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.
