Today, he is the founder of VisionPoint Dealer Advisory, helping dealers, investors, and prospective owners pursue strategic growth and ownership opportunities.

His decades of civic leadership, mentorship, board service, and commitment to creating educational and economic pathways for others reflect the spirit of the award he will receive.

We are proud to announce Bentina Terry as a 2026 Honoree of the 100 Honors Gala, where she will receive the Maynard H. Jackson Community Impact Award.

A respected executive, civic leader, and community advocate, Bentina has built a career defined by both professional excellence and service. She has been recognized among Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Most Admired CEOs, Atlanta Magazine’s Top 500, and the Atlanta Business League’s Women of Influence. Throughout her career with Southern Company, she has also broken significant barriers as the first African American—and in key roles, the first African American woman—to hold several executive positions.

Her impact extends far beyond the corporate arena. Bentina has chaired nonprofit boards, helped raise critical support for organizations serving Atlanta and the African American community, and championed efforts connected to education, the arts, housing, and economic opportunity. She currently serves the City of Atlanta as a Housing Commissioner, appointed by Mayor Andre Dickens.

Executive Leadership • Community Impact • Civic Service

Join us as we celebrate Bentina Terry and recognize the leaders whose work continues to strengthen Atlanta and create opportunity for future generations.

Welcome Back!

A strong school year begins with preparation, encouragement and a community that believes in every student’s potential.

The 100 Black Men of Atlanta was proud to support students and families at B.E.S.T. Academy and Frederick Douglass High School during our annual Back-to-School event. These moments represent more than the start of another academic year—they reflect our continued commitment to mentorship, educational opportunity and helping young people move forward with confidence.

We were also honored to welcome Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Bryan Johnson, whose attendance reinforced the importance of community leadership and collaboration in supporting Atlanta’s students.

Thank you to the school leaders, educators, members, volunteers, families and community partners who helped make the event meaningful.

Strong Fathers Build Strong Communities.

Fatherhood is more than a title...it is leadership, presence, guidance, and commitment.

Through the 100 Black Men of Atlanta Fatherhood Initiative, men receive coaching, mentoring, and practical support designed to help them lead with purpose, strengthen their families, and create healthier home environments.

Because when fathers are empowered, families become stronger. And when families thrive, entire communities move forward.

For 40 years, the 100 Black Men of Atlanta has remained committed to developing leaders, strengthening families, and building a brighter future for Metro Atlanta.
