Georgia's 50 Most Influential Women For 2007 

Renee Lewis Glover

CEO of the Atlanta Housing Authority

In 2002, Renee Glover received national recognition for her efforts in leading public-private partnerships that revitalized some of Atlanta's worst neighborhoods and benefitted the families that lived in them.  Her influence on U.S. urban policy in this area has been outstanding, moving Good Housekeeping magazine to report that "When Glover took on her job in 1994, Atlanta's public housing ranked among the worst in the nation.  Today, thanks to her imaginative plan that draws on public dollars and private development to create mixed-use communities for middle and lower-income families, the federal housing department gives the city highest marks."
