ATL Action for Racial Equity 2024 Assessment Report (published in 2024, reflecting the 2023 survey results)
The 2023 Assessment survey had several key objectives, which were: To identify strengths, opportunities, and considerations for the Atlanta business community to implement that address racial inequities in the region, To assess changes/progress in the Atlanta business community in addressing racial inequities since the inaugural survey in 2021, To assess differences in survey findings by industry type, business ownership and business size, and To engage key stakeholders to ensure the survey findings and considerations are salient and lead to action and adoption.
