Grady Talks Speakers Schedule Set!


Our top focus at Grady Talks is to get business professionals in front of students, sharing lessons they learned on the job.  We want to get kids career-focused.   A week after getting the class schedule, 17 people have stepped up and volunteered to ignite the dreams of young people in Atlanta.  Congratulations to Liz for finding great speakers!
