Honoring Excellence in Leadership

The Atlanta Business League (ABL) proudly acknowledges local Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) for their outstanding leadership in minority vendor development and community engagement. These prestigious honors reflect their steadfast support of the ABL’s mission—to foster economic equity and opportunity for minority-owned businesses.

Atlanta is home to some of the nation’s most influential multinational corporations, many of which are led by visionary CEOs who are committed to making a positive difference in the communities they serve. Their leadership strengthens their organizations and empowers the broader community, and drives lasting impact throughout our city and state.

The CEO Awards Luncheon is a signature event that allows us to shine a spotlight on these exceptional leaders. Through this celebration, we ensure that their achievements are recognized and remembered as enduring contributions to Atlanta’s legacy of inclusive economic growth.
