Gwinnett Chamber honors women in business
The Gwinnett Chamber recently held its 2021 Moxie Awards program, honoring women who are “making it happen.” More than 90 finalists and seven winners were celebrated in individual and organizational categories. Individual women were recognized for being trailblazers in a male-dominated field, champions of Gwinnett County, emerging leaders, professionals at the peak of their careers and those who have been generous with their time, talent and resources. The 2021 winners were:
- Greater Good Award: Lorri Christopher, City of Peachtree Corners
- Influence Award: Major Michelle Anglin, Gwinnett County Police Dept.
- On the Rise Award: Maria Uribe, Junior Achievement of Georgia
- Pay it Forward Award: Jill Edwards, United Community Bank
- Moxie Award: Venessa Harrison, AT&T
Organizations that received awards for being women-led and supporting the advancement of women were:
- Enlightened Employer Award: Georgia United Credit Union
- Outstanding Organization Award: Leadership Gwinnett
The chamber’s Moxie Awards program is just one example of how the county is bringing to life it’s new vision statement: “Gwinnett is the preferred community where everyone thrives.” To learn more about the county’s new leadership, industries and innovation, check out this month’s feature, “Connectivity and Collaboration.”
