Atlanta Inc., a nonprofit that supports individuals, children, and families in underserved communities through resources, financial literacy programs, and health initiatives. The resolution formally recognizes March 20, 2025 as TrailBlazing Women in Georgia Day, a day meant to acknowledge the philanthropic, social, and cultural contributions of women in the state.
