female mayor of Atlanta, Georgia; Maynard Jackson, Atlanta’s first African American
mayor (former); Kevin Powell, former senior writer for Vibe magazine; and writer,

relationships that will nurture you professionally and personally. Several workshops are
planned in the areas of legislative and regulatory issues; financial and economic develop
ment; technology; and personal and professional development.
