After more than 25 years of dedicated service to the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and the Fremont business community, Cindy Bonior, CEO, has chosen to step down to enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
Bonior has made significant contributions to the Chamber’s success. During her tenure, she not only continued the traditional Chamber events and activities but created additional benefits and services.
Under her leadership, Bonior developed Fremont Street Eats, the Fremont Burger and Brew Fest (including the renowned Burger Throwdown Competition), Business Marketplace at the Fremont Festival of the Arts, Women in Business Conference, Holidays at the Plaza, and organized meetings with city officials and members.
According to Bonior, each one of these new events or benefits were a direct result of collaboration with a business, an organization or the City of Fremont. “Partnerships are at the foundation of success,” said Bonior.
“Cindy has always led the Chamber with incredible integrity,” said Dirk Lorenz, past Fremont Chamber Chair, and executive board member. “I’ve admired Cindy as both a member of the Chamber’s leadership team as well as a friend. In addition to her integrity, her work ethic and passion for business interests in the community have been present in every decision she has made over the past 25 years.”
Although the date for Bonior’s retirement is set for September 30, she has committed to help with a smooth transition of the Chamber’s leadership to minimize any impact on services to Chamber members.
“It has been my honor and privilege to serve the Fremont business community,” said Bonior. “The greatest pleasure has been seeing members begin their journey and create a thriving business frequently acknowledging the Chamber as a partner in their success. I could not have asked for a better affirmation.”
