The Super Tuesday Conference also offers various corporations and governmental entities the opportunity to reach more than 1,500 business and professional women as a sponsor during each event. Each year as a part of ABL’s “Minority Business Awareness” aimed at increasing the awareness and patronage of minority business (MBEs), the “Super Tuesday” committee salutes and highlights the accomplishments of business women in five (5) major categories: Home-Based Business Achievement, Creative Style, Non-Traditional, Success Against the Odds, and Outstanding Achievement.
The Super Tuesday Conference is a program designed to host business and professional women from throughout the metro Atlanta community during its Annual Super Tuesday. Twenty-two years ago, the Women In Business Committee of the Atlanta Business League decided to create a forum for African-American women business owners and professionals to interact. They solicited the support of Mayor Shirley Franklin who was then the Chief Operating Officer for the City of Atlanta and Fulton County Commissioner Michael Lomax. Being a woman and understanding the plight of women across the board, Ms. Franklin was responsible for providing the first $5,000 grant to the Women in Business Committee for the first Super Tuesday program in 1984.
