FOCUS: The mission of changing lives and leading by example
By Cole Porter | What’s in a mission for an organization? It can be simply an explanation of your product and service that lets the public know what you strive to do in the market. Or alternatively, it can be an anthem that the members of the organization can get behind – understanding that every finger lifted ultimately points to achieving a higher purpose.

“Nothing makes us feel more connected than when we are engaged in a healthy balance of thoughtful speaking and hardcore listening.”
— Belgian-American psychotherapist and relationship expert Eshter Perel (1958- ) via John Titus, Peachtree Corners.

- Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
- Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
