with 2014-15 Campaign
Co-Chairs Jill Edwards
of Wells Fargo and
Randy Dellinger of
Jackson EMC.
GWINNETT CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP & SPONSORSHIP CAMPAIGN 1
It’s a red carpet affair, starring the
volunteers of the Gwinnett Chamber’s
9th Annual Membership and Sponsorship
Campaign! Join us for a night of hors
d’oeuvres, cocktails, and Hollywood
glamour at this year’s Campaign Kick-
Off. The campaign, titled “And the Winner
Is…,” has volunteers ready to break a leg
with the Chamber’s most aggressive goal
yet of $1,125,000 and 100 new members.
Over 100 of the Chamber’s top volunteers
will star in this campaign, eager to raise
funds for initiatives that promote business
development, networking, and enhanced
visibility for Gwinnett and Metro Atlanta
businesses.
Glitz and glamour await at the Kick-Off
Celebration! Dress as your favorite
Hollywood star and rub elbows with the
glitterati at the Gwinnett Chamber on August
7th at 5:00 p.m. Show up dressed to the
nines for a party that will rival Hollywood’s
biggest night!
Led by 2014–15 Co-Chairs Randy Dellinger
of Jackson EMC and Jill Edwards of Wells
Fargo, the “And the Winner Is…” campaign
offers a multitude of opportunities for
engagement including everything from
broad-based membership meetings to young
professional development, the 1,000+
attended Annual Dinner event, the Button
Down Dash 5K/10K to the Gwinnett edge
magazine—all designed with business and
community growth in mind.
The Campaign will continue though the
fall, celebrating milestone achievements at
Rewards Sessions held every other Thursday
at various locations around the county and
at the Victory Celebration in January 2015,
celebrating the top producers. Those who
generate $11,500 or more will need to get
ready for their close-ups during the reward
trip to the beautiful Westin St. Maarten,
February 8–12, 2015!
In addition to supporting and building our
membership organization, the Campaign also
provides volunteers with an opportunity to
grow professionally, expand business and
community contacts, and help the Chamber
become even stronger and more vital for
business in the future.
Lights…Camera…ACTION! There’s
still time to be a star and join this year’s
campaign. For more information on how
you can start or join a team, help your
community, and earn cash incentives or a trip

Under the leadership of Co-Chairs Carla Carraway of Precision
Planning, Inc. and Sid Theus of American Painting & Renovations,
Inc., the 2013 Membership & Sponsorship Campaign reached an
unprecedented $1,080,000 in total sales. Our collective success is
only because of the participants and teams that came together as
one in an effort to make the 2013 Campaign so successful. It is
because of this success that the trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was
rewarding and memorable for us all.
I look forward to our 2014 campaign and all that it will bring to
the Chamber. Meeting and exceeding our goal of $1,125,000 will
ensure that the Gwinnett Chamber continues to provide valuable
opportunities for business growth and development in the years to
come.
Vince DeSilva, Vice President of Member Services
Gwinnett Chamber
From the 50+ corporate teams participating in the 2013 campaign,
80 people were awarded airfare plus five beautiful days and four
exciting nights at the Westin Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas,
Mexico. Much recognition goes to the Vice Chairs who were
top producers in the Campaign. These individual success stories
include Brad Carr with Andersen, Tate & Carr, PC; Dorsey Grist
with United Community Bank; Ann LaFavor with LaFavor
Etc.; Sherwood McDuffie with SunTrust Bank; and Raymer
Sale with E2E Resources, Inc. McDuffie was awarded the top
individual producer prize, raising $90,000 in new memberships
and sponsorships! In addition, the SunTrust and Gwinnett Medical
Center teams tied for top producing teams, raising $116,000 each.
From personal and team goals to rookie volunteer and overall
campaign goals, the success of the 2013 Campaign demonstrated
that anything is possible with a unified team working towards a
common goal—including surpassing $1 million!
