Join us to explore the profound impact of small businesses on families and children in Metro Atlanta.
 
In partnership with Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative, this InForum will explore the vital connection between thriving small businesses and the well-being of children in our communities, and will feature discussions with key thought leaders and stakeholders.
 
A significant part of the event will be the release and discussion of data from a research report United Way of Greater Atlanta commissioned with the Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative. The report examines the connection between the presence of Black businesses and child well-being in predominantly Black communities. Thus, the InForum will be held in August during Black Business Week, focusing on how thriving businesses directly impact child well-being.

United Way of Greater Atlanta’s InForum Series is an open forum and discussion panel event that promotes dialogue and collaboration amongst community leaders regarding the Child Well-Being Index.
