Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson was sworn in for her second term on Tuesday with her family in attendance.

In 2020, Hendrickson made history as the first Black person to be the head of Georgia’s second-most populated county’s board of commissioners. 

"It’s an honor to have been entrusted by the residents of Gwinnett for a second term," Hendrickson said. "Strong leadership can drive meaningful change in our community and by working with residents, businesses and local organizations, we can continue to create a county that offers opportunity and equity for everyone."

Under Hendrickson’s leadership, Gwinnett County created the Affordable Housing Development Fund to tackle local housing challenges. 

Gwinnett also established their Entrepreneur Center to help small business owners navigate funding pathways.

Hendrickson has also been on top of the transit innovation in Gwinnett County, creating microtransit programs in Snellville and Lawrenceville.
