Jonese L. Burnett
Occupation: president, Bronzeville Area Residents' & Commerce Council (BARCC)
Why does she stand out?
A BARCC founding member, Burnett has volunteered with the organization since March 2004. BARCC is a non-profit organization serving homeowners, condominium owners, renters and commerce enterprises of Chicago's historic Bronzeville neighborhood. We work to create and maintain a safe, clean, enjoyable neighborhood for families to live and businesses to thrive, said Burnett. In the last seven years, the BARCC has helped hundreds of residents through several activities including Condominium Education Workshops and Historic Bronzeville Tours. The workshops trained over 200 condo owners to better manage their real estate investments. Additionally, the tours promoted the history of Bronzevilles homes and landmarks while articulating the areas legacy. BARCC is a resource that allows residents and businesses to build strong relationships, access information, work on shared concerns and create an environment in which a neighborhood becomes a community, said Burnett. In addition, she actively participates in community service projects for children (mentorship and tutoring); Alzheimers and breast cancer awareness.
