Howard elected vice chair of Gwinnett commission

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners elected Commissioner Lynette Howard its vice chairwoman Tuesday.

Howard, a Peachtree Corners resident, was elected to the commission in November. She represents District 2, which includes Norcross, Lilburn and Berkeley Lake. In recent years the commission has rotated the vice chair’s position among commissioners in district order. District 1 Commissioner Shirley Lasseter served as vice chair last year and early this year.
