Economic Development is the Focus of our January Breakfast

More than three years after the economy went into a tailspin, employment still hasn’t returned to where it was, and job creation remains a prime concern. At our January 7th breakfast, we’ll explore what is being done in the area of job growth and economic development, both statewide and here in Gwinnett.

Our guest speakers are Rep. David Casas of Lilburn, who serves on the House Economic Development and Tourism Committee, and Nick Masino, Vice-President of Economic Development & Partnership Gwinnett at the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.

Rep. Casas is serving his fifth term in the Georgia House. In addition to his work on the Economic Development committee, he serves as vice-chair of the House Education Committee, and is a member of the Appropriations and Rules committees. Masino is the former Mayor of Suwanee. In his role with the Chamber, he oversees the Partnership Gwinnett initiative. In its first five years, the program has facilitated the relocation of NCR, FedEx and other companies to the county.

Doors open at 7:45 for breakfast, and the meeting begins at 8:30 AM. Breakfast is $8, or if you prefer, coffee and juice is $2. There is no charge to attend the meeting.

This month’s breakfast rally is sponsored by Planet Smoothie Duluth.
