Chair Harrell Makes the List of 100 Most Influential Women

In October, the Atlanta Busines League (ABL) announced this year’s Women of Influence list, recognizing 100 African American women making a difference in the Atlanta metro. Among those honored were Henry County Chair Carlotta Harrell for her work as a leader in Henry County and the metro Atlanta community.

According to the ABL, “the ‘woman of influence’ is a woman who is top in their industry and leading organizations of large public bodies and women who are making a difference.”

Henry County Government hosted Leadership Henry Government Day in December at the Atlanta Speedway Airport. County Manager Cheri Matthews and Commission Chair Carlotta Harrell greeted the class of 2023 and presented a video of the proposed Aquatic Center. Their presentation also included several upcoming initiatives for the county and a trivia game to break the ice. County leaders and staff gave presentations of their various departments and were on hand to talk about local government and answer questions.
