The Atlanta 500, Atlanta’s most anticipated business and civic leadership list, is calling for nominations for its 2025 edition. This annual directory aims to commemorate the city’s most influential leaders, whose incredible actions, innovative ideas, and tireless dedication have helped shape the story of Atlanta.
Launched by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in 1961, the magazine continues to illustrate the business and socio-cultural landscape of Atlanta. Over its 63-year journey, this annual list has illuminated the power players of Atlanta – both prominent and hidden. The aim is to chart the changing faces of influence and control in Atlanta each year.
From politicians to executives to celebrities, those who hold power in various spheres are recognized. However, the list transcends these conventional categories of influence. Often, it is the ones silently working towards bettering lives in their spheres who wield substantial, though unrecognized, power. These important sections of the community also form an integral part of Atlanta 500.
Nominations for the 2025 edition of Atlanta 500 have officially opened and will run till the 2nd of August 2025. The selection process engages the editorial staff of the magazine into year-long discussions and debates, scrutinizing each nominee based on their contributions, influence, and exceptional leadership. An illustrious list of 500 most powerful is methodically curated, highlighting new and emerging social and business leaders every year.
Having marked the sixth successful annual edition in 2024, the team is excited to embark on the journey for the next volume. Past lists feature a wide spectrum of personalities who have left an indelible imprint on the city’s landscape. The 2024 Atlanta 500 list, for instance, echoed in corporate boardrooms and executive suites, sparked discussions and debates, and acknowledged the driving forces behind the city’s growth.
In the words of Jacqueline J. Holness, Editor at Atlanta 500, “Power resides not only in the known realms but also in improving lives of those around us without any resources.” This forms the essence of the Atlanta 500. The magazine hopes to continue its tradition of recognising and celebrating diverse individuals who, in their unique ways, contribute to Atlanta’s development story.
Whether you are an avid reader, an influential city figure or someone inspired by those who effect change, take a moment to nominate someone who deserves recognition for their exceptional work and influence in the city of Atlanta. Together, let’s shape the 2025 edition of The Atlanta 500.
