This year, Councilman Austin E. Thompson, Jr. proudly presented the 4th Annual Women of Influence in Leadership event, a powerful gathering that honored and recognized phenomenal women making a difference in our communities. Held at the beautiful Edged Events venue in Lawrenceville, Georgia, this celebration brought together inspiring leaders from various fields who are shaping the future through their work and advocacy.

The event featured an outstanding lineup of influential women, including:

• Catherine Hardrick, Director of Membership at the Greater Eastside Chamber
• Jann Dry Joseph, President of Georgia Gwinnett College • Lisa Marie Bristol, Solicitor General of Gwinnett County
• Ann-Carol Pence, Co-Founder and Producing Artistic Director of Aurora Theatre
• Triana Arnold James, President of Georgia NOW

Each of these remarkable women shared their experiences, insights, and wisdom, highlighting the importance of leadership, resilience, and community impact.
