Cooper & Company was founded in 1967 as a full-service commercial general contracting firm committed to serving clients in Georgia and throughout the south. As we have expanded our services, we have also expanded our projects. Cooper & Company has now successfully completed over 600 projects in all divisions of construction. And – while a lot of things have changed since 1967 – our approach to construction has remained constant. Today, we are based in the metro Atlanta area and still serve clients around the southeast. This gives you have the security of knowing whether a contract is negotiated, construction manager at risk, or hard bid — our project team can provide you with the services you need.

After a 25-year corporate career in the insurance industry, Donna Linden founded Trinity Staffing and Career Resources after hearing a story of a friend registering with a staffing agency. Getting a job was the most important thing in her friend’s life as her family needed the money. Yet, the staffing agency treated her like a number, did not follow up with phone calls, and she felt her messages were ignored. Trinity Staffing and Career Resources was birthed out of wanting to show the love of God to people who are in a job transition, and to provide them with career opportunities. Her company provides direct hire placement for various industries including insurance, business professional services, financial services/banking, and IT.

Volunteerism and serving the community are essential to Donna. She not only wants to make an impact in the lives of others through job placement, but she also wants to make an indelible impact in her community through volunteerism. Donna was born in Jamaica, but was raised in Mount Vernon, New York. She graduated from the Howard University School of Business. She is a licensed property & casualty agent in Georgia and has earned four prestigious insurance designations: CIC, AINS, CSRM, and CISR. She is a licensed minister and the coordinator of the Career Ministry at Berean Christian Church in Gwinnett. Donna serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Peachtree Corners Business Association, and is an active member of the Gwinnett Chamber.
