What's Next? With Karla Henderson

Step into an evening unlike any other. In June, Karla Henderson shared her insights with national leaders in New Orleans. In September, she was in Atlanta shaping conversations that are driving industries forward. And now, this October, we have the privilege of welcoming her right here in our city.

Karla Henderson is President & CEO of Project For Pride and Living, a national thought leader, and an icon whose voice carries weight across sectors. She has spoken to the country’s most influential players in housing, banking, philanthropy, and governance while staying deeply connected to the communities that fuel her vision. Her perspective is both rare and urgent; reminding us that leadership in uncertain times is about courage, clarity, and expanding when others shrink.

This intimate gathering at Arya Café with the Betting On US team is your chance to be in the room. Together we will explore what’s next for leaders, our communities, and the future we are shaping.

It’s a privilege to host an evening of this caliber, and even more extraordinary that it is free to attend. Betting On US is about access and about lifting up voices that help us see ourselves differently and believe in what is possible. Seating is limited, and the experience will be unforgettable.

Info: Come early and ease into the evening. This is a gentle space to reconnect with friends, share a few laughs, and meet someone new before the program begins. With a welcoming atmosphere and unhurried conversation, it’s the perfect way to settle in and set the tone for a meaningful night together.

Info: Jeff Aguy will guide a short but meaningful moment of reflection on what has happened since we were last together. This is a chance to share, listen, and be reminded that the choices we make and the connections we nurture can shape not only our own lives but also the communities we belong to.

Info: Join us for an inspiring evening as Karla Henderson, President and CEO of PPL, sits down for a dynamic conversation led by our Chief of Staff, Esabelle. Together they will explore what it means to be bold in uncertain times, how to step fully into your potential, and why betting on yourself is the most powerful decision you can make. This intimate dialogue will highlight Karla’s journey as a national leader and offer insights that challenge us to think bigger, aim higher, and embrace the future with courage.

Info: Following the fireside chat, join us for a guided group conversation where you’ll dive deeper into the themes of bold leadership and betting on yourself.

As soulful tunes play softly in the background, the room will be filled with energy, reflection, and the spark of new relationships that could shape your journey ahead.
