Leadership Gwinnett has spent more than four decades building Gwinnett County’s leadership capacity, one class, one connection, one community at a time.
Leadership Gwinnett is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that educates, equips, and engages leaders to serve Gwinnett County, Georgia. For more than 40 years, our programs have prepared people to serve on boards, lead nonprofits, run businesses, teach in classrooms, and hold public office across the county. More than 2,500 Program Graduates carry that work forward today.
Our impact shows up in what Program Graduates do with the rest of their careers.
We educate leaders on the real Gwinnett. Our participants walk through the county’s justice system, hospitals, schools, and infrastructure in person. They sit with the superintendent, the sheriff, the hospital executive, the small business owner, and the nonprofit director who are living those issues daily.
We equip leaders to act on what they learn. Context becomes useful when someone knows what to do with it. Our programs pair county immersion with leadership development, so Program Graduates leave with both the context and the capability to contribute.
This is what people in Gwinnett call Gwinnett Glue®: the web of trust that lets a school administrator call a county commissioner, or a banker call a nonprofit director, and get a real answer the same day. It takes decades to build, and it is the thing our Program Graduates tell us they value most.

Lifelong Gwinnettian. Brand-new perspective. 🌱 “When I showed up for Glance Gwinnett, I didn’t know what to expect. By the time I graduated, I had not only a deeper understanding of Gwinnett County but also an appreciation for its growth and a personal commitment to contributing to its future success. I have lived in Gwinnett County my whole life, and I have never felt more rooted here than I did after taking this course. I highly recommend it.” — Gabrielle Mills, Owner, Sourced.

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation lost 2,977 lives. We remember them, and we honor the first responders who ran toward danger so others could get out. Many never came home. In the days that followed, neighbors, strangers, and whole communities came together to care for one another. That same spirit lives on in Gwinnett's firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency teams, who show up for us every day. Today, we pause to remember. And we thank those who serve. #NeverForget #September11 #Gwinnett

Here's a peak inside a room our class never sees. They will see the day it produces. Our Regional Day Committee met the other week to start building one of the year's Learning Days, and every person at that table is an LG alum who volunteered to come back. Learning Days don't arrive prepackaged. Our alumni volunteers help decide which rooms the class walks into and which leaders they hear from. More than 200 volunteers are making the 2026-2027 program year happen. We are grateful for every one of them. 👏 Alumni, what's your favorite memory from Regional Day? Tell us below and include your class year! #LeadershipGwinnett #GwinnettCounty #GwinnettGlue #AlumniEngagement #CommunityLeadership

Next up in our Volunteer Spotlight series: Greg Whitlock! 🌟 Some people just keep showing up for this community, and Greg Whitlock is one of them. A proud Leadership Gwinnett Class of 2005 graduate, Greg has giving back to the LG community for more than six years. After serving on the 2019–2020 Retreat Committee, he joined the Steering Committee as a Tri-Chair before becoming our 2025–26 Chair. When we asked why he keeps coming back, here's what he shared: "The best thing about volunteering for Leadership Gwinnett is meeting LG grads outside my normal circle and learning life lessons and new initiatives I wouldn't normally be exposed to. Plus, LG grads know how to have fun, and I really enjoy the lighthearted environment that exists while serving." We're so grateful for Greg's generosity and his commitment to this community and, by extension, all of Gwinnett County. Join us in celebrating Greg for his dedication and steadfast leadership. 💙 #LeadershipGwinnett #VolunteerSpotlight #Gwinnett #CommunityLeadership

Some of the best things in Gwinnett happen because someone chose to give back. Meet Ryan Bonilla, a Glance Gwinnett (2014) and Leadership Gwinnett (2017) graduate who now serves on our Retreat Committee. "My love for Gwinnett is deeply rooted and is in large part thanks to Leadership Gwinnett. My contribution through Retreat Committee is selfish; it is simply inspiring to watch 40+ strangers walk into Fall Retreat and, 9 months later, witness 40+ dear friends walk into Spring Retreat. The cherry on top is to help them understand that graduation is not the end...it is the very beginning of the next step in their journey to impact our community for good." Volunteers like Ryan shape every class that comes through our doors. Our program wouldn't be possible without their hard work and dedication. #LeadershipGwinnett #GwinnettCounty #Volunteer #AlumniEngagement #CivicLeadership

Today we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

It is with a heavy heart that we shares the passing of Elliott Brack — a founding visionary, devoted community champion, and beloved friend to Leadership Gwinnett. More than 40 years ago, Elliott served on the steering committee that brought Leadership Gwinnett to life. His belief in developing informed, connected leaders helped shape the foundation of everything we do today. A gifted storyteller with an unmatched love for Gwinnett County, Elliott had a rare ability to capture the spirit and history of this community. Last fall, we were honored to celebrate his lasting impact at our 40th Anniversary Soirée alongside fellow founders. His wit, warmth, and unwavering dedication will be deeply missed. We are forever grateful for the legacy he leaves behind. Here is a link to his obituary to celebrate his extraordinary life: https://www.gwinnettforum.com/2026/05/elliott-earl-brack-1935-2026/ Rest in peace, Elliott. Gwinnett is stronger because of you. 🕊️

One year with Ken and we could not be more proud! 🎉 Last week marked Ken’s one year anniversary with Leadership Gwinnett, and we are taking a moment to celebrate the hard work, growth, and dedication he has brought to our team and our mission.

We had an incredible morning at the Hooper-Renwick Library for our Leadership Gwinnett Book Club! 📚 Dr. John Green led a fantastic discussion on Primal Intelligence by Angus Fletcher, challenging us to rethink how we use intuition and emotion in our leadership. It is always so powerful to get our Leadership Gwinnett Alumni and Glance Gwinnett Graduates in the same room. The vulnerability, the shared experiences, and the 'aha' moments are exactly what makes this network so special. A huge thank you to Dr. Green for facilitating and to everyone who showed up ready to dive deep! A special thank you to @gwinnettlibrary for providing a beautiful space to learn. For those who joined us this morning: What was your biggest takeaway from the discussion? Let us know below! #LeadershipGwinnett #LGBookClub #PrimalIntelligence #GwinnettCounty #LeadershipDevelopment #CommunityLeaders

To lead a community, you first have to understand it. 💡 Many of us live or work in Gwinnett, but do we truly see the full picture?
