GALEO's Executive Director Named to Most Influential Georgians List

For a third time, Georgia Trend magazine has named Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, as one of the "100 Most Influential Georgians" for 2012.  

"GALEO is proud of the work that has been accomplished by Jerry Gonzalez and the team of GALEO members across the state," said Tony Del Campo, GALEO chairman, in a statement. "Jerry continues to demonstrate great leadership and dedication towards ensuring greater civic engagement and leadership development of the Latino community in Georgia. His leadership and strong advocacy against HB87, Georgia's anti-immigration law, was certainly noteworthy."

Gonzalez is the one of two Latinos on the list. The other Latino is Dr. Ricardo Azziz, president of Georgia Health Sciences University and CEO of Georgia Health Sciences Health System in Augusta.
