Junior League of Gwinnett, North Fulton Counties Announces New Member Spotlight

As part of the Member Spotlight Series, the Junior League of Gwinnett and North Fulton Counties (JLGNF) is proud to acknowledge Andrea Klockow as an outstanding New Member. Klockow was nominated and selected based on her volunteerism, enthusiasm and dedication to JLGNF and the “Strong Girls, Bright Futures” community impact focus since she joined the League in September 2015.

JLGNF’s “Strong Girls, Bright Futures” programming strives to make a difference in the lives of young girls around the community. “I was always the overweight kid that always got picked last when playing games in gym class. I was always made fun of as a young girl, so I know how hard it is for younger girls these days. Even more so now than 20 years ago,” says Klockow.

Klockow joined JLGNF to get to know more people and help her local community. Her favorite part of the League is networking with like-minded women and meeting new friends. She is involved with Junior League University (JLU).

“Andrea is a shining star! From the application process to today, she has put her whole heart into becoming a New Member! She is very so thoughtful of others, engaged in the New Member program and is committed to the mission of our League,” says Penny Sibley, New Member Development Chair.

Klockow is a human resources professional at Fidelity Information Services (FIS). Her greatest accomplishment is packing up everything she knew and moving from Florida to Georgia without looking back. Before moving to Georgia, Klockow was involved with the Alzheimer’s Association in Polk County, Florida as a Memory Walk committee member.

The only person in her family that wasn’t born in Wisconsin, she currently resides in Roswell with her four-legged daughters and likes to relax with her parents in the mountains of Blairsville. In her spare time, she enjoys driving in the mountains with the top off of her Jeep, walking on local trails, taking her dogs to the park and renovating antique furniture.
