Advancing The Line – Atlanta

Join us at the Buckhead Club on February 10th at 6:00 PM for ATL Vets’ February Leadership Speaker Series, a milestone evening marking the official rollout of the ATL Vets Leadership Institute and the launch of two new leadership-focused programs.

This event brings together veterans, veteran supporters, and senior leaders for an intentional conversation around leadership development, personal growth, and sustained impact beyond the uniform.

Attendees can expect:

• Insight into the vision and structure of the ATL Vets Leadership Institute
• A first look at two new programs designed to support mindset, wellness, and leadership development
• Practical leadership takeaways rooted in lived experience
