🎭 A Lifelong Blueprint of Creativity
and Grand Event Production

Director Bonney’s extraordinary career as a master event planner
and storyteller was woven into her spirit from early childhood.

She discovered a passionate calling as a prolific writer in the third grade,
a creative foundation that continues to fuel her vision today.
By age seven, she emerged as a natural-born event planner—memorably organizing elaborate neighborhood-wide birthday celebrations for her mother.

This innate gift for orchestration later catapulted
her into the world of high fashion and corporate production.
As a former model for the prestigious D’Marshun Modeling Agency, Director Bonney mastered the art of stage presence, poise, and premium brand aesthetics.

She seamlessly transitioned this runway expertise behind the scenes, directing and producing spectacular, high-fashion showcases at legendary venues including the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, the American Intercontinental Hotel,
and the Academy of Medicine.

Her elite production repertoire expanded into hosting major cultural and international events, including prominent African Cultural productions for the International Christian Fellowship and the Forum for Exploration Africa, held at world-renowned cultural hubs such as the High Museum of Art and 

the Norcross Cultural Arts & Community Center.

🏢 Corporate Governance, Technology, and
Systems Engineering

This rich history of managing large-scale,
high-visibility productions is backed by rigorous academic training, dedicated non-profit operations, and decades of practical experience navigating intricate corporate technology, global tech infrastructure, and highly regulated healthcare systems.

Director Bonney's executive foundation was forged at
DeVry University and refined at the Keller Graduate School of Management, where she achieved her dual graduate degrees: an MBA and an MISM,
equipping her desk with elite skills in technological infrastructure,
database architecture, and fiscal governance.

This elite corporate and technical background is backed by her experience managing enterprise technology infrastructure at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), alongside historical, high-level specialist roles inside major institutional networks, including serving in Member Services at Aetna U.S. Healthcare and working as a Utilization Retrospective Review Specialist at 

Magellan Behavioral Health.

Demonstrating an unshakeable commitment to operational excellence, she previously served as the Operations Manager for Care Net Pregnancy Resources, where she masterfully commanded the daily administrative functions of the center and directed various high-impact community outreach events.

Furthermore, Gladys has been a highly active force within the regional technology ecosystem, dedicating her time and expertise as a specialized volunteer with premier institutional networks including Women in Technology (WIT) and the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). 

As an IT professional deeply proficient in complex workflow architectures, data compliance deployments, and continuous process improvements,

Director Bonney speaks the exact language of enterprise executives and corporate underwriters. Her dual expertise in business administration and information technology ensures that every non-profit initiative, corporate grant track, and contract she commands is executed with maximum compliance, financial accountability, and institutional precision.

🕊️ The Divine Vision: Fostering Love, Unity, and Vitality

Born and raised in a devoted Christian home where her mother was a licensed Evangelist and her father a respected Elder, Gladys developed a deep, unshakeable faith and trust in God from her earliest years, coming to know and cultivate an enduring love for Christ.

Today, she is an active member of First Baptist Atlanta and the Closer Walk Sunday School class, where she has been blessed with sacred occasions of ministering to the body.  Looking forward with clear prophetic vision, one of her next major spiritual assignments is the formal founding of the

"Brothers & Sisters Unity in Christ Prayer Group."
