National Monuments Foundation Women’s Social Innovation Conference

This preeminent event brings together powerful women in Atlanta to network, celebrate women’s leadership, and invest in programs that foster female empowerment. The luncheon keynote speaker, Princess Khaliya, will lead a panel discussion about the value of encouraging female entrepreneurship in order to promote community development.

The luncheon keynote speaker, Princess Khaliya, 2016 Middelthon-Candler Peace Prize recipient, will engage in a conversation with our panelists about Georgia’s potential to be a national example by investing in women and projects that empower communities. The panel will use examples such as the revitalization of Vine City and Historic Mims Park to demonstrate the progress already happening in Atlanta.

Panelists: Princess Khaliya Aga Khan, Lisa Calhoun, CEO Valor Ventures, the first woman to launch a venture capital company in Georgia, and Chiara Tilesi, Film Producer and CEO of We Do It Together an internationally acclaimed non-profit film production company.

Leading the conversation will be Atlanta’s own Monica Kaufman Pearson, 2013 Middelthon-Candler Peace Prize recipient. Pearson will describe why investing in women’s economic empowerment is required for sustainable community development. Research shows that projects geared towards eradicating poverty and violence against women, as well as encouraging female entrepreneurship are crucial in enacting transformational change in society.

They look forward to your participation and to hearing your ideas about the transformation projects happening in Atlanta and throughout Georgia.
