VINCE DESILVA , SR . VP, MEMBERSHIP SERVICES
Behind every great success story lies an idea—an idea that may start small but, when
cultivated and invested in over time, can lead to something extraordinary. Gwinnett County
is one the greatest success stories in our nation: we are home to thousands of companies,
numerous higher education institutions, exceptional healthcare services, popular sporting
events including the annual PGA Champions Tour and some of the nation’s best parks.
In addition, more than 100 languages are spoken in our award-winning schools, we are
experiencing more exponential job growth than at any other time in our history and we
were recently named the ‘Best Place to Live and Launch a Business’ by
Money
and
Fortune
Small Business
magazines. Gwinnett’s success was not an accident, but began with the idea
to unify our diverse communities for the enrichment and advancement of our county.
The Chamber is dedicated to being “the forum for business, government, education,
healthcare, arts/culture/entertainment, and philanthropic and public service communities
to come together to advance our region’s economy and enrich Gwinnett’s quality of life.”
This special edition of
The Executive
reveals how each aspect of the Chamber’s vision
statement has become ingrained in our members and is evident in their real-life success
stories. Our members’ continuous dedication to Gwinnett serves as the ultimate example of
how a unified community has no limits to its success. We invite you to discover the idea that
continues to make Gwinnett great then seize that idea for yourself by putting it to the test in
your own business and the result could be something truly extraordinary.
Sincerely,
Vince DeSilva
The Greatness of an Idea
