His strategic vision and leadership were pivotal in the creation of Leadership Louisa, further strengthening the Chamber's ties with the local workforce.”

Recognizing his unwavering commitment to education and community development, Bundrick was recently elected to a three-year term with The Virginia Association for Career and Technical Education (Virginia ACTE), assuming the roles of President-Elect, President, and Past President, and advocating for the advancement of Career and Technical Education statewide.
