Great breakfast today! Nearly 40 diplomats from local businesses and the Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce visited the GOC. As we to help employ our Members, increase community awareness, and build our sustainability, it was great for them to see our Members in action. Our Members came in at the crack of dawn to prepare a delicious breakfast for these community business leaders. Shattering stigma and helping people move forward whose lives have been interrupted by mental illness is what the GOC is all about.

Alina and Kyana came to the GOC at 6:30am to prepare and serve the meal. Chamber diplomats appreciated it. Staff and Members work together on important tasks for the GOC. Just like the GOC, the Chamber Diplomats operate like a club. They depend on their diplomats to complete important tasks for a greater good. Chamber Diplomats are a tight and friendly group. They work hard, and at the end it is a lot of fun. Same at the GOC. Behind he scenes, GOC we work hard to showcase our program. Brett got to share about our Ambassador program.
