June Lynn
Owner/Attorney, Lynn Law Firm LLC

I have lived in Gwinnett most of my life. I attended Brookwood High School, went to Georgia Tech for undergraduate school and then Duke for law school. After two years working in a New York City law firm, I returned to Gwinnett and eventually started my own family law practice in Lawrenceville. I enjoy spending time with my Wife, Melissa, my puppy Mocha and my cat Smokey. I am happiest when I am surrounded by nature and animals. Gardening is my favorite way to relax. I love living and working in Gwinnett. I drive past farms on the way to work each day instead of spending hours on 85. I love my career because I am helping people get through the most difficult time in their lives. My favorite foods are Chocolate and Mexican. For every picture of a person in my phone, there are ten pictures of an animal.

History

by T. Michael Tennant – Chairman, Leadership Gwinnett Board of Trustees

The year was 1984. Gwinnett County was undergoing its own Orwellian experience. Described only six years before by Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News as a “sleepy little hamlet,” Gwinnett County was changing rapidly in population, diversity, average age and job growth. A sea of change occurred in political preference from longtime Democratic to Reagan Republican.

Other things were happening too: The Council for Quality Growth was formed, the Gwinnett Foundation, now the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia was established, the Convention and Visitors Bureau was a mere five person committee of the Chamber of Commerce, Gwinnett Place Mall opened and Gwinnett Public Schools had a mere 41,445 students. Political, business and civic leadership were changing rapidly. Subdivision homeowners associations were emerging in power and influence. New Gwinnettians now outnumbered native Gwinnettians. A new day had dawned.
