ISB Atlanta’s 2025 Gala – Event Recap

On Saturday, September 20, 2025, ISB Atlanta hosted its annual Gala in Downtown Atlanta, bringing together more than 500 leaders from faith, business, civic, and nonprofit sectors. The evening was dedicated to honoring community leadership, celebrating Muslim contributions, and advancing ISB’s mission to combat bigotry through education and engagement.

We were proud to present Chris Womack, President and CEO of Southern Company, with ISB Atlanta’s Distinguished Leadership Award. Chris’s vision and commitment to building a stronger, more connected Atlanta reflect the very values that guide ISB’s work—diversity, innovation, and community building.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and attendees, the 2025 Gala was a tremendous success. Together, we strengthened our shared commitment to fostering understanding and creating a more welcoming Atlanta.
