Doing Business in Metro Atlanta: The Role of Immigrants Now and in the Future

As Atlanta continues to prosper, harnessing and investing in its immigrant community will be critical to building a strong workforce to compete with other cities in the United States and attracting business internationally. What policies can city and county governments implement to further the economic and civic contributions of their immigrant populations? What is the role of the private sector in working toward Atlanta’s continued economic growth? Join us for a luncheon on Tuesday, October 22 that will answer these questions and more.

• Kasim Reed, Mayor, City of Atlanta
• Philip I. Kent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
