With its inaugural awards gala in March, the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce marked a significant milestone with a tribute to the organization’s first anniversary, the women who embody its spirit and mission and its commitment to sustainability.
The organization — founded by Audrey Bell-Kearney and Georgette Taylor — honored nine members at the gala with the Soaring Woman Award, which recognizes leadership, compassion and innovation.
