Appreciation to the Buckhead Coalition
We are indebted to the Buckhead Coalition for providing PubMan, Inc. a vast amount of content and economic development data for our 2023 Buckhead Guidebook. We believe this information will help our readers - businesses, residents, and visitors -- better enjoy the many facets of living, working, and playing in Buckhead.
The Buckhead Coalition is an influential nonprofit civic association that operates much like a chamber of commerce for the Buckhead community. The Buckhead Coalition’s mission is to advocate on behalf of the community within the city of Atlanta and metropolitan region; to support the wellbeing of Buckhead’s residents, businesses, and visitors; to convene public and private sector leaders and partner organizations; and to connect Buckhead to other areas of the city and region. In 2020, the Buckhead Coalition created a formal working relationship with three other prominent Buckhead organizations: Buckhead Community Improvement District, Livable Buckhead, and Buckhead Business Association in order to create a more unified and integrated approach to local leadership. The Buckhead CID now operates as a program of the Buckhead Coalition, while Livable Buckhead and the Buckhead Business Association remain independent organizations that closely collaborate with both the Buckhead Coalition and the Buckhead CID. Each organization brings its own strengths, but they share a common purpose: Making Buckhead a vibrant community that is welcoming for businesses, residents, and visitors alike. The Buckhead Coalition works closely with local government representatives and safety officers, and also exchanges information with various neighborhood associations and other citizen groups. It was incorporated August 30, 1988 and is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit civic organization. It is under the leadership of Jim Durrett, President & CEO, and Eric Tanenblatt, Chairman.
