Remembering the entrepreneurs of Forsyth County’s past is a good way to honor the business successes of today, a speaker told a gathering Thursday. Ruben Boling, an instructor at North Georgia College & State University’s Mike Cottrell School of Business, addressed an audience of about 200 during the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Awards Luncheon.The event was held at the Lanier Technical College Forsyth Conference Center. Boling, who also serves as the director of the Center for the Future of North Georgia, told the audience that he was “born and raised” here.“I am a Forsyth County native and I know there aren’t many of those around anymore,” he joked.
