It’s hard to imagine any community in America that wasn’t built with strong female hands as part of the construction crew, and ours is no exception. Throughout the decades, women with vision, character and courage have stood alongside the male pioneers of North Georgia to build the schools, businesses and government institutions that made our part of the world a unique and special place to live. This weekend, an inaugural event is scheduled to celebrate the role women continue to play in forging the foundations of our community and to help them get even further ahead in their goals.
