Each year, Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta celebrates the leaders, innovators, and everyday heroes who strengthen and inspire our community. At our 2026 Annual Meeting on Thursday, June 4, we will honor the outstanding individuals and teams whose dedication and vision help build a vibrant Jewish Atlanta, including recognition of our outgoing members of the Board of Trustees and a warm welcome for our new members. More than just an annual gathering, the Annual Meeting is a powerful celebration of our community’s achievements, our collective impact, and the bright future we are building together.
