2026 Honoree: Kathy Waller
The 2026 Scholarship Gala honors Kathy Waller, the first Black woman to serve as Chief Financial Officer of a Fortune 100 company during her tenure at The Coca-Cola Company (2014-2019). A trailblazer in corporate America and a champion of diversity, Waller’s leadership embodies the ambition and excellence that define Atlanta. Her story — and the stories of the scholarship recipients she will help inspire — will anchor an unforgettable evening.
