Norcross 2020 - "Thoughtful Progress Together"

Candidacy Announcement

Vote for Keith Shewbert
Norcross City Council
November 7th, 2006
“Thoughtful Progress Together”

v Smart Spending
v Secure Neighborhoods
v Community Involvement




I am an active member of the Norcross PDC (Progressive Development Committee), a member of the Norcross Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and serve as Norcross’s representative on the Gwinnett Village CID board of directors. In addition I am working with many other Norcross residents to build the Gwinnett Village Community Alliance, a non profit sister organization to the CID that will focus on the people issues in the Village like education, housing, and community involvement. I also teach mathematics and computer classes at Gwinnett Tech.

My wife Jeanette and I have lived in Norcross for seven years. Jeanette works at Rock-Tenn as a manager in the IT department. She also works in the community, volunteering her time at the Garden Club, Woman’s Club, Norcross Elementary School, and through her church with the Norcross Cooperative Ministry. Through her involvement with Norcross Elementary School I volunteered with the Junior Achievement program and help with reading mentoring. When people ask where we plan to retire, we say that we’ve found our little corner of paradise in Norcross.

Let me know what you think. What is your vision for Norcross? What things need to be addressed by the city council? How can all of the citizens of Norcross work together to achieve our shared goals?

Over the coming weeks I will contact as many of you as possible to hear your ideas and get your input. Most mornings I am at the Northern Star Coffeehouse in downtown, stop by, share a cup of coffee with me, and let’s work together to build an even greater Norcross.

Please feel free to contact me by email at keithshewbert@gmail.com or by phone at (678) 429-6039.


Regards,

Keith Shewbert
