Global Atlanta Works is an initiative of the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) that works with the region’s growing ethnic, racial and international communities to foster greater collaboration and provide community-building tools. The main goal of the program is larger than mere assimilation; it enhances community engagement processes and empowers our newest arrivals with improved access to information and services. A committed group of regional leaders from diverse backgrounds serve as the program's advisory committee.
At www.globalatlantaworks.com, you will learn more about the various components of this unique planning initiative, including:
- Community Conversations — A series of small roundtable discussions around the Atlanta region designed to connect racial and ethnic community leaders with decision makers across sectors including education, business, government, faith-based, and non-profit.
