SUMMARY:Deep Ellum Mural Hunt
DESCRIPTION:How it works \n\n\n\n\nTeams of 2 to 6. Every team needs one phone and one adult.\n\n\n\nFind the murals below. At each one\, take a team selfie with the mural clearly visible behind you. That is your proof. Noselfie\, no points.\n\n\n\nSend every selfie as you go. Timestamps count.\n\n\n\nBe back at the rally point by 9:00 AM sharp. Late teams lose 5 points per minute. Awards at 9:15. Everyone gone by9:30.\n\n\n\nWalk on sidewalks\, cross at corners\, stay on Elm\, Main\, Commerce and the cross streets listed. Do not enter privateproperty\, fenced alleys\, or the underpass beneath I-345.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRules that matter \n\n\n\n\nKids stay with their adult. Adults stay with the team.\n\n\n\nPhotos are for the hunt only. [[STATE PHOTO POLICY: for example\, no photo with a child in it is posted withoutwritten permission from the parent]]\n\n\n\nIf a mural on this list is gone or covered\, take a selfie at the address anyway and note it. You still get the points.\n\n\n\nHave fun. It is 7 AM on a Thursday and you are standing in front of elephants.

SUMMARY:Veterans Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS PROGRAM\n\n\n\nMany entrepreneurs spend years “learning the hard way\,” but as a veteran\, you already have valuable skills—you just need a path to translate them into business. \n\n\n\nThis half-day summit bridges the gap between military leadership and commercial success by stripping away the fluff and focusing on the “intel” that actually moves the needle. We’ll dive deep into the mechanics of SDVOSB certifications\, navigate the current landscape of veteran-specific lending\, and reveal how to pivot battlefield agility into a scalable competitive advantage. Whether you are still in the “pre-launch” phase or ready to scale a multi-million dollar enterprise\, this session provides the strategy and connections necessary to win.   \n\n\n\nLEARN HOW TO:\n\n\n\n\nObtain a clear\, step-by-step checklist for obtaining and leveraging SDVOSB and VOSB certifications to win lucrative government set-aside contracts. \n\n\n\nUse a comprehensive directory of veteran-friendly lenders and SBA 7(a) resources tailored to your specific business stage.\n\n\n\nEstablish direct lines of communication with local mentors\, resource partners (VBOC/SBA)\, and a peer-support network of fellow veteran founders.\n\n\n\nUse a refined capability statement that translates military experience into a value proposition that resonates with civilian stakeholders and corporate partners.\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here:https://georgiasbdc.org/training-program/0852-001-gwi-veterans-summit-2026/

DESCRIPTION:Join us for another great event!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin ATLVets for an evening of candid conversation and high-value networking with CCK Law and Brad Hennings. \n\n\n\nMost lawyers in this field learned the VA appeals system from the outside. I learned it from the inside first.I’m a Partner at Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick (CCK Law)\, the largest veterans disability law firm in the United States. Since 2018\, I’ve represented veterans and their families on appeal at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA)\, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC)\, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The firm handles claims and appeals at every level of the VA system\, nationwide\, and has recovered more than $1 billion for veterans and their families. I work here because the mission is real and the track record is not theoretical.Before CCK\, every role I held was inside that system:* Veterans Law Judge at the BVA (2014-2018)\, signing more than 3\,000 decisions* Judicial law clerk at the CAVC for the Honorable Alan G. Lance\, Sr.* Counsel in the BVA’s Office of Quality Review\, evaluating signed Board decisions and every dispositive Veterans Court decision* Associate Counsel at the BVA\, drafting decisions for Veterans Law JudgesWhen we brief an appeal\, I know how the people deciding it will read it. I spent years being one of them. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect: \n\n\n\n\nA fireside-style conversation on leadership\, resilience\, and lifelong service\n\n\n\nPractical insight on carrying military discipline into civilian impact\n\n\n\nPremium networking with Atlanta’s veteran and business leaders\n\n\n\nDrinks and connection\n\n\n\n\nSeating is limited.
