Sarah Thorson

I lead the efforts that power GRA's growth and impact. Through strategic partnerships, sponsorships, fundraising initiatives, signature events, and operational leadership, I help secure the resources that advance our mission while supporting marketing, membership, and foundation initiatives. Whether cultivating industry relationships, creating memorable experiences, or identifying new opportunities, I bring people, ideas, and resources together to strengthen Georgia's restaurant community.

Favorite cuisine?
Anything tex-mex.

Dogs, cats, or both?
Piper & Banks - my Australian Labradoodles.

What motivates you?
Waking up every day to support the hardest working industry! I do not cook so I need for restaurants to thrive so my family can survive!

Text or call?
Text or email. With calls, I'm too chatty and easily distracted!
