We are proud to announce Bentina Terry as a 2026 Honoree of the 100 Honors Gala, where she will receive the Maynard H.

Jackson Community Impact Award. A respected executive, civic leader, and community advocate, Bentina has built a career defined by both professional excellence and service. She has been recognized among Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Most Admired CEOs, Atlanta Magazine’s Top 500, and the Atlanta Business League’s Women of Influence. Throughout her career with Southern Company, she has also broken significant barriers as the first African American—and in key roles, the first African American woman—to hold several executive positions. Her impact extends far beyond the corporate arena. Bentina has chaired nonprofit boards, helped raise critical support for organizations serving Atlanta and the African American community, and championed efforts connected to education, the arts, housing, and economic opportunity. She currently serves the City of Atlanta as a Housing Commissioner, appointed by Mayor Andre Dickens.
