Outstanding Atlanta - The City's Premier Honor for Community Involvement

Formed in 1968, Outstanding atlanta annually recognizes 10 young professionals between the ages of 21 and 40 for distinguishing themselves in their careers and service to Atlanta’s community. For over four decades, Outstanding Atlanta and its honorees have demonstrated extraordinary leadership. Members hold key positions in business, politics, education, non-profit organizations, volunteer, and charitable endeavors.

Dear Atlanta,

For generations, Atlanta has been shaped by people who understood that leadership means showing up, building bridges, and leaving something meaningful behind.

Since 1968, Outstanding Atlanta has identified and connected young leaders who carry that responsibility forward. As President, my vision is to build on that legacy by making our network even more connected, engaged, and influential in the life of our city.

I want Outstanding Atlanta to be a place where relationships become collaboration, where leaders across generations learn from one another, and where being named Outstanding marks the beginning of a lifelong commitment to Atlanta.

Our city is changing quickly. It needs leaders willing to stay connected to community, lead through complexity, and bring others with them.

That is the network we are building. That is the legacy we are carrying forward.

In service,

Janet Sevilla
President, Outstanding Atlanta
