We are excited to have these companies growing and expanding in our community and look forward to building on this year’s success in 2025.”
In addition to celebrating corporate achievements, the event recognized key nonprofit partners that collaborate with Partnership Gwinnett, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, Explore Gwinnett, Home of Hope GCS, and Positive Impact International.
