Southwest Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce

What Southwest Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce does

Southwest Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce (SWGC) is a nonprofit, membership-based business organization serving the Southwest Gwinnett region of Georgia, USA. Its service area is geographically defined by three municipalities — the cities of Berkeley Lake, Norcross, and Peachtree Corners — each of which holds sustaining-membership status with the Chamber. The organization was founded in 2012 and operates with a small staff (1–10 employees) from its headquarters at 107 Technology Parkway in Peachtree Corners, GA, with additional operating presence via the GrowthZone-powered member portal at business.southwestgwinnettchamber.com.

SWGC's core offering is a tiered membership program (Chairman's Circle, President's Council, Executive Level, and general membership) that grants access to a searchable online member directory, recurring networking events — primarily Thursday Thought Leaders and Coffee Connections — and member-promotion channels including Hot Deals. Ancillary products include a news and announcements feed covering board appointments, new-member welcomes, and local business developments. The value proposition centers on community-led networking, B2B referral density across a diverse member base (healthcare, legal, banking, construction, real estate, nonprofits), and coordination of economic-development activity with city governments and the Norcross Cluster Schools K–12 system.

The Chamber's revenue model rests on annual recurring membership dues at multiple price tiers plus transaction-based event fees and corporate sponsorships. Go-to-market is community-led: member acquisition is driven by participation in monthly gatherings, direct outreach, and member-to-member referrals. Sustaining memberships from anchor institutions (Vox-Pop-Uli at the Chairman's Circle tier; City of Peachtree Corners, City of Norcross, Atlanta Tech Park, The Forum, Norcross Cluster Schools, Georgia Center For Opportunity, and NetPlanner Systems at the President's Council tier; and an Executive Level tier that includes Atlanta Hilton Northeast, VyStar, Clearwave Fiber, Armanino, and Smith+Howard) form the financial backbone of the operation. The Chamber is governed by a Board of Directors and currently chaired by Andrew Hajduk of Vox-Pop-Uli following an April 2026 leadership transition.

An adjacent, ecosystem-participating organization that overlaps in mission around local economic vitality and business promotion.
