event coordinator for Johns Creek, where she planned community festivals and celebrations. She is a graduate of the University of Georgia Terry College of Business. “These are exciting

times for Forsyth County, particularly when it comes to the marketable tourism attractions currently available and those forthcoming on the horizon,” Gross said. “I look forward to contributing to the success of the Discover FOCO brand.” Chamber of Commerce President and CEO James McCoy said Gross understands what Forsyth County

has to offer visitors, and her skills at cultivating relationships and guest experiences align with the chamber’s tourism development goals. Discover FOCO is an outsourced visitor investment development service for Cumming and Forsyth County. — Shelby Israel
