The Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce is launching a business institute to help business owners and managers develop strategies to succeed.

The institute will consist of quarterly forums and other learning opportunities featuring local business leaders who have experienced growth. Participants also will have the opportunity to share experiences with peers.

The first forum, "Selling When Selling is Tough," will be at 8:30 a.m. April 20 in the Gwinnett Chamber Education Room, 6500 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth. The cost is $45 for chamber members and $55 for nonmembers. To register, visit www.gwinnettchamber.org/events.
