“Who is rich? He/she who rejoices in his/her portion.”
Power of a Program was created to honor and celebrate the inclusion of people with disabilities in the Atlanta community. In the past 5 years we have honored over 100 individuals who have been leaders and advocates for inclusion. This year we honored programs, partnerships, and initiatives that create inclusive opportunities in Jewish Atlanta, and the people that make them happen. In addition to recognizing all of this year’s honorees, the Robyn Berger Emerging Leader Award was presented to Micah Bronfman, recognizing him as a rising leader in the community.
