ABOUT THE EVENT:
This annual event will provide the opportunity to gain insight into the legislative calendar and to network with Gwinnett's Delegation. Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle will be discussing the upcoming session and what he sees on the horizon for 2016.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
A successful entrepreneur and respected former State Senator, Casey Cagle made history in 2006 by becoming the first Republican elected to Georgia's second highest office. In November of 2010 and 2014, Georgia voters overwhelmingly re-elected Lieutenant Governor Cagle.
In 1986 he became the proprietor of his first small business, a tuxedo rental company. At just twenty years old, he began realizing the American dream as his business expanded throughout North Georgia. After founding Southern Heritage Bank in 1999 and earning his reputation as a business and community leader in Gainesville, Casey focused his efforts on serving the citizens of Georgia.
In 1994, he was elected the youngest state Senator at just 28 years old, and was overwhelmingly reelected five times. In the Senate, Casey rapidly established himself as a capable and effective lawmaker. He was appointed to serve as Chairman of the Finance Committee, Vice Chairman of Science and Technology and as a member of the Appropriations Committee and Natural Resources Committee.
In 2007, Casey Cagle became Georgia's 11th Lieutenant Governor. Championing the Charter Systems Act, Casey improved education in our state while providing a path to career technical education for Georgia's high school students. Additionally, he launched the Georgia College and Career Academy Network, a partnership between local community leaders, school systems and Georgia's technical colleges. Thanks to Casey's leadership, Georgia has 34 college and career academies today, with additional academies planned every year.
Casey's leadership has been recognized beyond the state of Georgia as well. After being named one of the 100 most influential Georgians, Casey was one of four public servants in the country to be honored by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools with the Champion for Charters Award.
