The Lambda Legal Atlanta Leadership Council is thrilled to announce the Co-Chairs for its annual event scheduled for September 10th at the Woodruff Arts Center. As Co-Chairs, Charles Hicks and Lauren Molina will help inspire local, corporate, and grassroots support for Lambda Legal as the organization celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023.
