SUMMARY:Advancing The Line - Atlanta - Senator Kenya Wicks
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 retired U.S. Army Major\, community leader\, and lifelong public servant Kenya Wicks. \n\n\n\nOver a 30-year military career\, Kenya Wicks rose from enlisted soldier to commissioned officer — a testament to the kind of leadership\, resilience\, and commitment that doesn’t come from a title\, but from showing up every day for three decades. A Louisville\, Kentucky native and graduate of the University of Alabama\, she built a career defined by service to her country and her people. \n\n\n\nBut her story isn’t one of a career that ended at separation. It’s one of service that simply changed form. In her civilian life\, Major Wicks has poured that same discipline into her community — advocating for children in foster care as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) in Clayton County\, serving fellow veterans through the board of the Eden Project\, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. \n\n\n\nFor our veteran community moving into new arenas of leadership\, Major Wicks is living proof of a simple truth: the mission doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. It just finds new ground. \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. Reserve your spot today and advance the line with us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🚨 Spots are limited!RSVP today and be part of a transformative evening that moves the needle in your life and work. \n\n\nOur Agenda: \n6:00 – 6:30 pm: Open Networking and Host comments \n6:45 pm- 7:30 pm:  Speaker highlight & fireside chat \n7:30 pm – 8:00 pm: Q & A and Open Networking \n**Business Casual Attire Required** \n\n\n\nOur Featured Speaker: Kenya Wicks\n\n\n\n\n\nKenya Wicks is a retired U.S. Army Major\, dedicated public servant\, and tireless community advocate. Over the course of a 30-year military career\, she rose from enlisted Soldier to Officer\, earning a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University of Alabama. Her service was defined by leadership\, resilience\, and a deep commitment to the country.\n\n\n\nA Louisville\, Kentucky native\, Major Wicks has continued to champion community and public service in her civilian career — advocating for children in foster care as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) in Clayton County and serving on the board of the Eden Project\, a non-profit dedicated to serving veterans. She is a member of multiple veterans’ organizations\, including the American Legion and VFW\, and an active member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority\, Incorporated\, where she received the prestigious Zeal of Georgia Award. She is a proud mother of three sons — all HBCU graduates — and a devoted member of The Olivet Church.
