The luncheon will be held on Friday, May 29 at noon at the Twelve Hotel, Atlantic Station.
 
“The theme for today’s luncheon — “Investing in Youth Today….. Empowering Young Adults Tomorrow” – reflects the age-old truth that we cannot advance as a people without investing in our youth. It also acknowledges the importance of letting these young people know when they are doing the right thing – and applauding them for it and supporting them in keeping it up,” said Nancy Flake Johnson, President and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Atlanta.
