The luncheon features a keynote address by one of Georgia’s business elite as well as the presentation of several community awards, including the Buckhead Business of the Year Award.  Each year, the BBA honors five Buckhead businesses that fill a niche in the market, showcase excellent customer service, and demonstrate a commitment to the community. This year’s finalists are:

• Bella Bags,
• Del Frisco’s Grille,
• Huff Harrington Home,
• Joy Café and
• Ocean Prime.

Other annual awards include Bullish on Buckhead, the Buckhead Beautification Award and Entrepreneur of the Year.

“We’re thrilled to host Dene Oliver at our Annual Luncheon and we look forward to his commentary on how his development will impact the Buckhead community,” said Buckhead Business Association president elect Brian McGuire.

Buckhead Atlanta’s design has been led by Dene Oliver’s vision of an organically created district bound together by the storied history of the Buckhead Village and distinctly drawn by the hand of several architects.
