This Week's Speaker
Miriam C. Falaki, The Sandwich Project

Join us this Friday at Maggiano's to welcome Mariam C. Falaki and learn more about The Sandwich Project (TSP) -a non-profit organization whose volunteers assemble and donate fresh, homemade sandwiches each week for immediate consumption to meet the food scarcity needs in Metro Atlanta. 

Miriam serves as an at‑large board member for The Sandwich Project, bringing a wealth of financial planning expertise, cross-cultural fluency, and a strong community service ethos. As a CFP® professional at Savant Wealth Management in Atlanta-­she specializes in comprehensive financial planning, serving clients since 2012. Driven by a belief in equitable access to resources, Miriam joined TSP’s board to leverage her planning skills toward sustainable impact—helping strengthen TSP’s financial strategy and community partnerships so that no neighbor in Metro Atlanta experiences hunger alone.
