The City of South Fulton is held the inaugural Impact South Fulton Awards late last year. It was a prestigious event to honor and celebrate individuals and organizations that have made substantial contributions to the local economy. This exclusive banquet took place at the stunning new Crestwood Events and Conference Center, in the heart of the City of South Fulton.
The evening was an unforgettable experience, providing a platform for industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and government officials to come together and recognize the exceptional achievements that have shaped the community. Tracye Hutchins, esteemed news anchor for Atlanta News First, was the evening's host, guiding guests through an inspiring program.
The Impact South Fulton Awards was honored to welcome Anna Roach, the CEO of the Atlanta Regional Commission, as the distinguished keynote speaker. Roach's vision to create One Great Region aligns with the mission of the awards—to foster thriving communities within the Atlanta region through collaborative, data-informed planning and investments.
