Atlanta Business League Celebrates 40th Annual Super Tuesday Event (October 10, 2024, Atlanta, GA) — October is significant for hundreds of Black women business owners and professionals in the Atlanta area. For the past 40 years, the Atlanta Business League has celebrated their achievements by hosting a day-long conference designed for learning and networking.
On October 15th, the Super Tuesday event will kick off at 8:00 a.m. with the Women of Vision (WOV) breakfast. This year, the Honorable Stacey Abrams, former Georgia Democratic minority leader and current endowed chair professor at Howard University, along with Mrs. Azira G. Hill, founder of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Talent Development Program, will be inducted into the Women’s Hall of Fame. The induction will feature a live fireside chat led by former Atlanta first lady Valerie Jackson. The WOV breakfast has been a staple for twenty-seven years, honoring an elite group of 100 Black women business leaders and professionals known as Women of Influence.
This year’s Super Tuesday theme is “One Great Day: The Ballot, the Book, and the Buck,” focusing on how attendees can leverage these elements to achieve their goals.
Morning Workshops will cover essential topics such as:
Bridging the Gap: Understanding the mutual benefits of mentoring.
The Business of Sports and Entertainment: Advocating for increased minority participation in these industries.
Telling Our Story: Strategies to combat stereotypes and enhance representation.
Late-Morning Workshops will include:
Generational Wealth: Insights on building a lasting legacy.
Evolving with Technology: Tailoring AI to business needs.

Watkins Female First Award. This award honors trailblazing women who have shattered barriers in their fields, and all three honorees are the first Black women to hold their respective positions.
