New Gwinnett Chamber President & CEO Dr. Daniel J. Kaufman will give his first address to the chamber at a general membership luncheon Thursday, Aug. 22, at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth.

Dr. Kaufman will present his vision and goals for the chamber and his plans to help support Gwinnett’s continued success, according to a news release issued by the chamber.

“The chamber is a unique forum in Gwinnett County. The chamber is where all major segments of the community – business, government, education, health care, public service and philanthropic organizations, and the arts – connect,” said Dr. Kaufman. 

“The chamber’s mission is to bring all these elements together to craft a common vision for our community and to promote economic and community development in Gwinnett County and the metro Atlanta region. In my new role as Gwinnett Chamber president & CEO, I look forward to working with the area’s many great leaders in the years ahead.”

The Business Expo & Job Fair is scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. followed by Business After Hours from 5 to 7 p.m.

Dr. Kaufman previously served as charter president of Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville. Prior to this, he was a brigadier general in the U.S. Army, serving as Dean of the Academic Board and Chief Academic Officer at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, a position from which he retired in June 2005.
