Alpharetta, GA 30004 770-722-5211 [email protected] 1 History of the Atlanta Area Council The Atlanta Area Council of the American Business Women’s Association was organized in December, 1979. It was an outgrowth of the ABWA 1978 National Convention held in Atlanta, GA. Members of the fourteen Host Chapters and six new Chapters wanted to continue the friendship and “togetherness”. Upon receiving guidance and recommendations from ABWA Executive Director, Ruth Bufton, the 1978 National Convention Officers, Committee Chairs, and other interested members coordinated their ideas, talents, and expertise to formalize the best type of Council to serve ABWA members in the Atlanta area. Through their combined efforts, and many hours of planning by ABWA members, a set of guidelines (bylaws) was established. Council Charter Officers were elected in March, 1980, for a one-year term. In 1985 Marlena Coggins, Council Chairman and a member of the Golden Dome envisioned and initiated the first Atlanta Area Council Annual Leadership Workshop. The Council’s primary goal is to further the mission of ABWA and to provide an opportunity for the interaction among ABWA Chapters and Express Networks in the Atlanta area. The original officers were: Millie Burchardt, Chairman Pat Malone, Vice-Chairman Verna Brown, Recording Secretary Glenda Love, Corresponding Secretary Dee Wilson, Treasurer 2 PAACC PAST ATLANTA AREA COUNCIL CHAIRMEN 1980-1981 Millie Burchardt, Snapfinger Woods Chapter* 1981-1982 Patricia Malone, Cobb Charter Chapter* 1982-1983 Joann Strike, Georgia Peach Chapter 1983-1984 Jeanette Matheson Hayden, Regency Chapter* 1984-1985 Nysia Lanier, Regency Chapter 1985-1986 Marlena Coggins, Golden Dome Chapter 1986-1987 Janet Martin, National Member 1987-1988 Betty Trent Campbell, Snapfinger Woods Chapter* 1988-1989 Judy Paugh, Northlake Charter Chapter 1989-1990 Sandra Gutke, National Member 1990-1991 Sabrina Blackmon, Perimeter Chapter 1991-1992 Sandra McNeil, National Member 1992-1993 Barbara Jett, National Member 1993-1994 Catherine Butler, Onyx Chapter 1994-1995 Darlene Andrews, Cobb Charter Chapter 1995-1996 Kathryn Anderson, National Member 1996-1997 Gwendolyn Jones West, Snapfinger Woods Chapter 1997-1998 Dorothy Ford, Rainbow International Chapter 1998-1999 Jenell Orr, New Roc Charter Chapter 1999-2000 Ollie Henson, Douglas County Charter Chapter 2000-2001 Christine Mann, Onyx Chapter & Atlanta Platinum Chapter 2001-2002 Karen Winstead Ruetz, New Roc Charter Chapter 2002-2003 Teresa Williams, Hidden Hills Chapter 2003-2004 Bessie Poole, Golden Dome & Dogwood Prime Time 2004-2005 W.

The motives for the grant were to aid worthy poor in England, to strengthen the colonies, increase imperial trade and navigation, and to provide a buffer for Carolina against Spanish Florida. Even though the King had granted the charter for the colony, Oglethorpe wanted to get the consent of the Indians inhabiting the area.

  • Early History of Atlanta in Medicine, Architecture, Opera, Etc
    EARLY HISTORY OF ATLANTA in MEDICINE EARLY HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN ATLANTA* By Frank K. Boland, M.D. From the opening chapter of "Makers of Atlanta Medicine," a series of articles written by Dr. J. L. Campbell for The Bulletin of the Fulton County Medical Society in 1929, we are informed that the first physician to locate in the territory now known as Fulton county was Dr. William Gilbert, grandfather of Dr. W. L. Gilbert, former county commissioner, and at present a member of the Fulton County Medical Society. The elder Gilbert moved from South Carolina about 1829 and settled on the Campbellton road, to serve the thinly populated sections around old Utoy, Mount Gilead and Mount Zion churches. Just before the War between the States he moved to Atlanta and formed a partnership with his brother, Dr. Joshua Gilbert. In Martin's Atlanta and Its Builders, Dr. Joshua Gilbert is named by Dr. George Smith as Atlanta's first physician, who located here in 1845. It is interesting to note that Doctor Gilbert and Crawford W. Long, the discoverer of anesthesia, were born in the same year, 1815, and that Doctor Long was a resident of Atlanta in the early part of the 1850 decade, during which time he bought the lot bounded on three sides by Peachtree, Luckie, and Forsyth streets and began the erection of a fine residence. Abruptly deciding to move to Athens, where his children would have better educational advantages, he sold his incompleted building to Judge Clark Howell in 1855, and left the town with one medical man the less.

THIS IS PLACED HERE FOR RESEARCH INFORMATION ONLY IN THIS DIGITAL LIBRARY OF MEDIA. ___________________________________________ HISTORY OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, ___________________________________________ WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SOME OF ITS PROMINENT MEN AND PIONEERS. _______________________ EDITED BY: _________________ WALLACE P. REED. __________________________ SYRACUSE, N. Y. D. MASON & CO., PUBLISHERS, 1889. _______________ PREFACE. THE fact that Atlanta is comparatively a young city will doubtless lead many to the conclusion that her annals are short and simple, and in such shape as to give a historian very little trouble. It did not take' long for the author of this work to find that it was a more .difficult matter to obtain the facts and figures illustrating the growth and progress of Atlanta than would have been the case if he had attempted to write the history of a much older city. The presence among us of many of the old pioneers and early settlers, strange to say, has heretofore stood in the way of a systematic record of the city's onward march. Various suggestions, made from time to time, in regard to the organization of a Historical Society met with but little favor. Few citizens recognized the benefit of such a society, when they and their neighbors recollected nearly every important event that had occurred since the settlement of the place. In the older cities and towns the matter is viewed in a different light. In many instances no pains and expense have been spared to collect and preserve in permanent form the facts of history, and some of the societies organized for this purpose even in some of the flourishing Western cities not much older than Atlanta, have accumulated such a mass of valuable printed material that a stranger having access to it would find the work of writing a history almost purely mechanical.

  • Suntrust Bank Along with BB&T Corp
    Equitable Building, Atlanta, Library of Congress. A PROFILE IN GEORGIA’S BUSINESS HISTORY THE BEGINNINGS In 2019, SunTrust Bank along with BB&T Corp. announced a merger between the two regional banks resulting in the 6th largest bank in the United States. This merger—the largest of its kind since the 2008 economic recession—represents a pattern of consistent growth throughout SunTrust Bank’s history and underscores SunTrust’s long and significant history in Georgia. The Commercial Travelers’ Savings Bank was granted a charter, or approval, to open its doors from the Georgia General Assembly in 1891. The bank was founded by a group of 24 men in Atlanta—none of which were bankers—and during an economic recession in the post-Civil War era. The bank survived its first year of business competing against at least 18 other banks in the city. The founders were unsure about the future of their endeavor but it wouldn’t take long for the bank to cement its place in the economic history of Atlanta and the Southeastern region. In 1893, the name of the bank was changed to the Trust Company of Georgia (TCG) reflecting a shift in its overall business. Under the leadership of Joel Hurt, TCG became a trust and investment bank, managing banking services for companies, buying and selling stocks, and assisting mergers (when two companies join together). Left: Equitable Building, Atlanta, Library of Congress. Right: Joel Hurt, circa 1900. Atlanta History Center. In the same year, the bank’s office was relocated to Atlanta’s first “skyscraper,” an eight story building known as the Equitable Building—built and owned by the president of TCG, Joel Hurt.
