Georgia State University President Dr. Mark Becker will give the keynote address during the Buckhead Business Association’s (BBA) Annual Luncheon.
During the event, scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25, at Flourish Atlanta, the civic organization will also honor local businesses for their roles in transforming the Buckhead community.
Business of the Year nominees are Mountain High Outfitters, Keri Gold Salon, King+Duke, Sally B’s Skin Yummies and Seven Lamps. Buckhead Business Beautification Award nominees are Garden Hills Pool, which in 2014 unveiled an upgraded facility; Lenox Square for its renovated facade; and the Restoration Hardware that opened in 2014 on Peachtree Road.
“Our Annual Luncheon gives the community an opportunity to reflect on the businesses that help make Buckhead great and also hear from a newsmaker who is helping to positively shape the community,” said David Coxon, president & CEO of Georgia Primary Bank and the BBA’s 2016 president. “We look forward to hearing from Dr. Becker about his vision for Georgia State and how it will continue to help transform the city.”
Reporter Newspapers, publisher of The Buckhead Reporter and other community-centric newspapers, is the presenting sponsor.
