3rd Annual Ramadan Dinner & Awards Gala at The Carter Center
March 11
At the Atlantic Institute’s 3rd Annual Ramadan Dinner & Awards Gala, held at The Carter Center in Atlanta, we were honored to welcome Dr. Jon Pahl as our keynote speaker. Dr. Pahl offered a powerful reflection on the evening’s theme, “Carrying the Heart Forward: Service and Dialogue,” reminding guests that authentic service begins with the heart and is sustained through sincere dialogue, compassion, and a commitment to the well-being of others.
Dr. Pahl’s scholarship has helped broader audiences understand the life and ideas of Fethullah Gülen, whose lifelong dedication to Hizmet — service to humanity — has inspired countless individuals and communities to prioritize education, dialogue, and altruism. Following the program, guests had the opportunity to meet Dr. Pahl and take part in a book signing, continuing the conversation late into the evening. The gala brought together distinguished leaders from across Atlanta for a night dedicated to dialogue, reflection, and friendship.
