Lawrenceville Leader 'Cultivates Community In All That She Does'

Lawrenceville, GA — Without community leaders, Lawrenceville wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Deborah Ackwood, a Lawrenceville reader who nominated Domonique Cooper.

How do you know this community leader?

I worked with her in a group.

What does this community leader do?

Domonique is a beacon of light and a change agent everywhere she goes. She is a board member and Secretary for CASA Atlanta, board member for Fort Safety Inc., Mentor for Gwinnett County Public Schools and Active member of two school council governance boards. Domonique is also a member of Rotary of Duluth, Kiwanis Duluth-Norcross Club, Graduate Member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc, Member of Gwinnett County Public Schools Literacy Advisory Council and philanthropist.

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

I believe Domonique should be honored because she is also a mom of five boys (3 biological and 2 bonus) ... She is always the first in and last out when volunteering ,and she has an exceptional personality that's extremely infectious to all around her. Domonique cultivates community in all that she does. She loves people and has a real knack for youth and children.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

Domonique is the lighthouse of our community. She is the epitome of community in the way she lives. Her value and energy is unmatched. She is truly a trailblazer and someone that our community is blessed to have.
