America's Christian Credit Union's (ACCU) Vice President and Chief Development Officer, Fawn Imboden, was installed as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Glendora Chamber of Commerce at its 2016-2017 Installation and Awards Dinner on Wednesday, June 29.
The event took place at the Glendora Country Club, where local and state dignitaries recognized this year's Board Members and award winners for their outstanding service. The 2016 award winners included: Ken Salzman (SanZman Productions), Ambassador of the Year; Elizabeth Granillo (Forest Lawn), New Member of the Year; Rotary Club of Glendora, Non-profit of the Year; and Fiorina, Glendora Business of the Year. Also recognized, for her leadership and dedication, was Outgoing Board Chair Sheila McClure, who expressed excitement and strong support for her successor. In handing over the gavel, McClure said, "Fawn is an incredible woman of integrity, strength and faith. I am confident that she is going to do amazing things for our Chamber and our great city."
While Imboden has been an integral part of ACCU's leadership team since 2002, her reach and influence extend far beyond the confines of the credit union. She is well known and respected throughout her numerous constituencies, including the Glendora Chamber of Commerce, Wesleyan Holiness Connection, Azusa Pacific University and Life Pacific College to name a few.
Fawn is both enthusiastic and filled with optimism about the future of the Glendora Chamber. She shared her high aspirations during her Incoming Chair remarks, outlining her visionary plan which includes working to strengthen community relationships; growing Chamber membership by 20% in the year ahead; starting a ground-breaking Young Entrepreneurial Professionals Advisory Board to empower the future leaders of the community; and assisting businesses with modern market tools to be competitive and leading-edge for success in the 21st century. Fawn exclaimed, "I look forward to working together with every key stakeholder in our community to Promote, Connect, and Grow."
