- Tell us about yourself and what you do for work?
Connie Bunyard, owner of Valley Remodeling, I spend time volunteering through different organizations, United Food Bank, Mesa Leadership, Aspire. Our family consists of 7 adult children, 3 grandchildren, and an Amazing husband of 40 yrs. We love to spend our time in the great outdoors. Some of our favorite things to do are hike, boat, and take our jeep out 4-wheeling. At home, I enjoy playing cards, reading, and sewing. - What is your position on the board, and what do you do in your board position for Mesa Leadership?
This year I have been on the recruitment team but am planning on moving over to curriculum. After spending most of the day in class last week, I realize how much I love that classroom time. The synergy is inspiring, and spending time on a regular basis with people of such caliber helps me to be the best that I can be. - What attracted you to attend Mesa Leadership, Training, and Development?
I joined Mesa Leaderdership shortly after I joined the Mesa Chamber. We moved to the area about 3 years ago and immediately joined the Mesa Chamber. While filling out my paperwork, I learned about Mesa Leadership, and I knew right away that I needed to apply for the program. It was the best decision I could have made. - What class year did you graduate?
