Bob Chmielewski
New President for 2008-2010

The Cedarburg Foundation is pleased to announce Bob Chmielewski will be sworn in as its new president for a two-year term beginning at the June 2008 Board meeting. A Cedarburg resident since 1969, Chmielewski has been heavily involved in community activities dating back several decades, most notably his active role in the Cedarburg-Grafton Rotary club. “Bob and I have really worked closely together during this past year,” said Jim Coutts, outgoing President. “He’s been involved in all of the planning that is taking place so we’ve been a real team. He’s a great man for the job.”

As part of his goals as the leader of the Foundation, Chmielewski said he would like to see more growth in the endowment fund as well as more “friend-raising” to achieve that goal. “We want to sustain and enhance our wonderful quality of life in Cedarburg,” he said. “If we do a good job of friend-raising, our endowment will grow.” . . .
