ABOUT THE AWARDS
The Dan & Tally Sweat Award
A champion of “doing the right thing” for Downtown Atlanta, Dan Sweat served as a past CAP President, leading the district through challenging seasons for Atlanta’s business and political communities. The award, designed to honor Dan Sweat’s heritage and accomplishments and renamed in 2020 to also acknowledge the accomplishments of Tally Sweat, is given to business and/or organizational leaders who have become quiet, effective leaders beyond the scope of their positions in the community. Each year, CAP selects a business and/or organizational leader who, like the Sweats, demonstrates true leadership and advocates for “doing the right thing” for Downtown.
The Warner Bros. Discovery Community Leadership Award
Established in 2003, the Warner Bros. Discovery Community Leadership award identifies and celebrates Downtown’s “unsung heroes.” Recipients embody the true meaning of quiet leadership, continually working on the community’s behalf to make Downtown a better place for all by means both large and small. While award winners may not appear on the traditional radars of the corporate and organizational leadership world, their grassroots efforts make them all the more worthy of recognition.
The Marcus Downtown Economic Impact Award
Created in 2008 and renamed in 2016 to honor Bernie Marcus for his contributions to Downtown, the Marcus Downtown Economic Impact Award recognizes an individual, company, or project that has stimulated revitalization efforts that strengthen and advance Downtown at large. The award’s selection criteria include both quantitative and qualitative impacts, from increasing investment dollars to leaving a “positive mark” on the community. This award is given to the people and places we consider to be “game-changing” for Downtown’s development.
