Many Points of Pride in Charlotte

Generosity is a quality in this community that is held in high regard. One of our past school superintendents said he has never seen such generosity in a community.

MEMBER OF THE MONTH HIGHLIGHT:

#CharlotteRising is happy to announce that they are finalizing the action plans this month. With this the organization is gearing up for the year to come.

Our Mission

To cultivate a vibrant, enduring downtown Charlotte by:

• expanding its economic capacity and diversity;
• enhancing its historic appeal and creativity;
• endorsing its pride and promise;
• and enlivening its connectivity and investment. 

Our Vision for Downtown

Downtown Charlotte stands strong as our community’s foundation—a gateway to our history, our home, and our hope for what is to come. From a rich history of trials and triumphs, a new energy surges throughout Downtown. The ten blocks offer a refreshed appeal of historic beauty, a compelling creative hub for unique arts and entertainment, and a welcoming destination to a myriad of residential spaces, businesses, and eateries. With an engaged community from all walks of life, Downtown Charlotte magnifies an alluring and proud combination of past, present, and future—resulting in a place that truly creates a memorable experience for families, residents and guests.

CHAMBER AMBASSADOR HIGHLIGHT:

Dillon Bond: Hello, I am an insurance agent with Russell & Schrader Insurance. I have been with the agency for close to two years. I have been in the insurance industry for five years. Prior to insurance I was a Verizon phone salesman here in Charlotte. I am originally from Olivet, I attended high school and college there. I majored in Communications. I played college basket at Olivet College for two years and I am a fraternity alumni of Phi Alpha PI. I am married and my wife’s name is Breanna Bond. She is from the Charlotte area and she works for MSUFCU as a personal banker. We just had our first child, Grayson James Bond and he is almost 2 months old now. We currently live in Eaton Rapids. I love helping people in any kind of way, that’s why I gravitated towards insurance. Its my job to make sure everyone of my clients are protected for the unexpected. I take great pride in what I do. I have been a Charlotte Chamber ambassador close to one year now. I really enjoy helping the community out by offering my time to create events and help others learn and have a good time.

Thank you for all your support Dillon!
