Membership
Development Manager, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce
As a previous
Leadership Gwinnett intern and longtime Gwinnetian,
Ansley’s November 2018 Graduation from Glance was a true “full
circle” moment.
Q: What did
you learn that surprised you the most?
A: "I had no idea how much effort
went in to making Gwinnett great. The amount of work the CIDs do to
keep our community clean and to reduce crime was eye-opening."
Q: What moved
you personally about Glance?
A:
"The homelessness issue in our community. The amount of kids on
free and reduced lunch was alarming!"
Q: What has
Glance inspired you to do?
A:
"I volunteered a lot in college at a national level, it's always
been important to me, but Glance inspired me to volunteer and help
within my local community. There's such a need here and every little
bit helps. I've been inspired to donate goods that aren't always
front-of-mind when donating, like laundry detergent or a toaster for
someone staying in an extended-stay motel. They have enough cans of
green beans!"
Q: How has
Glance affected your professional life?
A:
"Now when I speak to clients, I have explanations for why
Gwinnett is so great. I feel more equipped to answer questions about
our community and I feel more knowledgeable about Gwinnett's biggest
issues. I also have about 30 other friends I can reach out to and
connect with that live or work in Gwinnett."
