Until recently, BB&T's Andrew Bell was president of the Lilburn Business Association. During his time here, he said the Lilburn community "helped shape my heart and my life."
Andrew Bell may live in Sugar Hill, but for a number of years he also called Lilburn home. As the manager of the Lilburn BB&T, he jumped right in to the community, including being the president of the Lilburn Business Association. However, a recent promotion forced him to step down from his position with the Lilburn Business Association. Officially, he finishes his term this month. He has already started his new job, and is managing 11 BB&T branches in Forsyth and (north) Fulton counties. Before a new board takes over, we asked Bell a few questions about his time in Lilburn. Patch: You were keenly involved in Lilburn and the LBA when you worked here. Was it hard stepping down from your position? Bell: It was a bittersweet decision to step…

Networking, “New Things”, and Mayor Johnny Crist
Lilburn’s Business Association meets each month at Killian Hill as part of their Meet, Eat and Learn series. This month, President Andrew Bell asked each of the attendees to stand up, introduce themselves and their companies and tell what one thing they are doing different to make their business stand-out and be successful. Mayor Johnny Crist was the speaker this month addressing “Leading in Turbulent Times.” He addressed the issue of learning to be a leader in business without losing your soul. After an experience in a flight simulator with his daughter, in which Crist explained that he virtually crashed his plane into a virtual San Diego during a simulated thunderstorm, his perspective changed. He recognized the gauges on the dash …

Guaranteed to tell you something you didn't know yesterday.
Welcome to Friday, the last work day for some of us before a long holiday weekend. Here are some things to know as you head into the day. The weather: Well, the thermometer may creep a little higher today, up to 93 degrees, but otherwise there's not much change from previous days. There's a code orange smog alert in affect. The low tonight will be about 69 degrees. What's new and what's part II: You know summer is coming to an end when new titles at the box office turn serious and heavy. There are two movies with Nazi themes -- "Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life" and "The Debt" (Check Patch later today for a video review of this one). But there's also some that still have a summer-movie tinge: "Shark Night 3D," for example.Click here for a list …
