Be part of a defining moment in our organization’s history. The 2026 Members Retreat marks 40 years of impact and brings members together to reflect, realign, and reengage under the theme, “Renewed & Reactivated.” Featuring a keynote from John Hope Bryant, this experience will challenge, inspire, and activate every member as we collectively shape the next chapter of leadership and legacy.

Hosted by Georgia Power, the Retreat will take place at their downtown headquarters (241 Ralph McGill Blvd. NE). We extend our sincere appreciation to Mark Berry for his unwavering support. We are also honored to receive greetings from The Honorable Ambassador Andrew Young, Kim Greene, President and Chief Executive Officer of Georgia Power, and Audrey King, President of the Georgia Power Foundation. Georgia Power has been a valued partner and lead sponsor for many years, and we are grateful for their continued commitment to our mission.

Please register by Monday, April 27, 2026 for planning purposes.

We look forward to your presence as we come together to strengthen our foundation and define the path forward.
