You'll be one of the first to hear about the growing LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health & Sustainability) movement and how Gwinnett continues to take the lead in becoming more sustainable. Business leaders will share how sustainability makes economic sense and IMPROVES YOUR BOTTOM LINE through three key focuses:
