Renee Unterman/Community Advocate

Community advocate Renee Unterman has called Gwinnett County home her entire life. From an early age, she learned the value of hard work from her parents. Her mother and father grew up in the depths of the Great Depression and married in 1935. Her dad worked as a plumber and steamfitter, brilliantly navigating the world and providing for a family with only a sixth grade education. Her mother raised five children from home and vowed that with a good education, each of them would have opportunities to succeed and enjoy a better life than her own. Unterman worked to pay her way through college and she earned a nursing degree from Georgia State University. She enjoyed her work as a cardiovascular nurse for many years and eventually earned a degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia.
