The journey to the CEO seat for women in leadership is often shaped by unique perspectives rooted in faith, childhood experiences and big ideas. In this candid conversation, Atlanta Habitat CEO Rosalyn Merrick and Atlanta Housing CEO Terri Lee reflect on what motivates them as leaders who are dedicated to ensuring affordable housing options in Atlanta. Whether it’s homeownership or rental assistance, they know having a home is the foundation that helps families achieve stability – and it’s only the beginning.
The interview was moderated by Crystal Edmonson of the Atlanta Business Chronicle. She is an experienced philanthropy journalist who also hosts the “On Leadership” podcast.
As part of our Women’s History Month acknowledgements, this inaugural conversation was filmed at The Lola, an inclusive community for women to connect and collaborate in a shared workspace. Learn more and become a member: www.the-lola.com.

An inclusive community begins to be built.
