Say hello to the Leadership Gwinnett Class of 2027 👏 48 leaders. 9 months. One goal: understanding Gwinnett County from the inside out. Starting this August, our newest class goes behind the scenes of the courts, schools, hospitals, and businesses shaping one of Georgia’s fastest-growing counties, building the relationships that turn ideas into impact. Since 1985, more than 1,300 leaders have walked this path. Now it’s their turn. Congrats to the Class of 2027! Full announcement at the link in our bio. #LeadershipGwinnett #GwinnettCounty #Classof2027 #EducateEquipEngage #Leadership

The Class of 2027 is headed to the lake! ⛵️ This weekend, they gather at Lake Lanier for the highly anticipated Fall Retreat. For more than 40 years, Leadership Gwinnett classes have convened at Lake Lanier, and the retreat has set the tone for what this program is all about. Now it's the Class of 2027's turn. Class of 2027, enjoy every minute. We're cheering you on! Leadership Gwinnett Alumni, what Fall Retreat advice would you pass along to the class? Leave it in the comments. #LeadershipGwinnett #GwinnettCounty #GwinnettGlue #CommunityLeadership #CommunityLeaders

#ThrowbackThursday: As we gear up for an exciting year with the Class of 2027, we wanted to look back and celebrate the Class of 2026! 🎓✨ It has not been long since this group officially graduated, but their commitment to our community, and to each other, has not skipped a beat. From consistently connecting at local events to cheering on each other’s milestones, this class is the true definition of engaged leadership in action. Here is a telling figure about their dedication: Over half of the Class of 2026 is already paying it forward by actively serving on committees for the incoming Class of 2027. Thank you, Class of '26, for your unwavering support and for setting such an inspiring standard. #LeadershipGwinnett #TBT #ClassOf2026 #GwinnettLeaders #CommunityImpact #GwinnettCounty

What an impactful weekend of connection, reflection, and growth! The Leadership Gwinnett Class of 2027 stepped away from their daily routines for our Fall Retreat and began forming the relationships that will shape their experience over the months ahead. While the details stay with each class, the purpose is clear: meaningful connections strengthen leaders and help build a stronger Gwinnett. A heartfelt thank you to our Retreat Committee for the time, care, and intention they invested in facilitating an unforgettable weekend. We are also grateful to Legacy Lodge at Lanier Islands for continuing to welcome our class with such wonderful hospitality. Class of 2027, thank you for showing up with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to grow. We are excited for the journey ahead! #LeadershipGwinnett #CommunityLeadership #GwinnettCounty #LeadershipDevelopment #LGClassOf2027

Yesterday was nothing short of inspiring! The Leadership Gwinnett Class of 2026 experienced Building Community Leaders day hosted by @georgiagwinnett and the energy was palpable. The class dove into reflective discussions and transformative dialogues with each other around moving from #Me2We. They heard from the tremendous BCL Day committee who facilitated meaningful and engaging activities. The class also heard from @tim_elmore and @coachdowns_gary whose insights on the power of community and connection left a lasting mark on the room.
