Solving Atlanta’s Challenges with Mayor Andre Dickens
Mayor Andre Dickens is a proud Atlanta native whose journey to leadership began when he set his sights on becoming mayor at just sixteen. Raised in Atlanta’s public school system and shaped by a strong community, he became the city’s first in his family to attend college, earning an engineering degree from Georgia Tech. Before stepping into public service, Dickens succeeded as an entrepreneur, building a multi-million dollar furniture business. As Atlanta’s mayor, he’s known for his collaborative, energetic leadership—rallying city officials, business leaders, and residents alike to solve problems, support youth, and drive equity, all while preserving Atlanta's legacy as a cultural and economic powerhouse.
Key Takeaways:
Purpose-Driven Leadership: Mayor Dickens' motivation to serve Atlanta stems from gratitude to the community and his personal “because”—giving back and helping others reach their potential.
Youth Empowerment as a Strategy: Dickens’ focus on the “Year of the Youth” has resulted in thousands of teens gaining meaningful job opportunities and mentorship, helping drive the city’s record-low crime rates and record-high graduation rates.
Transparency and Trust: He views trust and energy as the “currency” of his administration, believing authentic, accountable leadership is essential, especially in today’s climate of misinformation and public skepticism.
Sound Bytes:
“Atlanta is a group project… entrepreneurship is about how to leverage the capacity of others.”
“I’ve labeled Atlanta as a group project, because the mayor can’t put an S on his chest and go around here being in 50 places at one time—no, it takes all of us.”
“My ‘because’ is: it’s time for me to give back and lift as I climb.”
