The Harbor Springs Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the hiring of Bonnie Kulp as its new executive director.
Bonnie's love affair with the Harbor Springs Community began more than five years ago on a vacation and blossomed into home ownership here in 2017. Bonnie commented during her interview, "My love for Harbor Springs has deepened each year, and each time we have participated in many of the annual events from the tree lighting, Bowling on Main, the July 4th Parade, to the Farmers Markets, I am so pleased to be a part of this community. I am in awe of the people, the community and the businesses that make up our lovely town."
Bonnie will be moving from Ann Arbor, where she has been employed by the University of Michigan in various capacities
since 1994
throughout her career. For the past six years she has been the Executive Assistant in the Athletic Department, specifically for Aquatic Sports. She has a wealth of experience from her 25 years with U of M, which will enabled her to assume the leadership role with the Chamber.
Bonnie will transition over the next month, wrapping up at U of M and working several days a week for the chamber as she makes her official move to Harbor Springs to begin full-time employment by mid-June at the latest.
Andi Shepherd, board chair of the Chamber, said,
"We had an extensive search for our new ED. The entire Board of Directors of the Chamber could not be more pleased that Bonnie will lead the Chamber. She is a very talented person, with a strong drive, wonderful personality, and a passion for Harbor Springs. We truly believe our entire membership will benefit from her leadership, and she is very eager to begin a long term relationship."
