Jeanette Bunn, President and CEO of Travel To Go, has been nominated for San Diego Magazine’s Woman of the Year Award. Every September, San Diego Magazine recognizes the outstanding women who drive the city forward through “Women Who Move the City”, a special section in the September issue combined with an evening event to honor all of the city’s top female leaders including the Women of the Year nominees.
Bunn is being nominated for her demonstrated leadership, commitment to the community and positive influence on fellow businesswomen. As Founder, CEO and President of her family owned business, Bunn has set the bar for creating a positive work environment for nearly 50 employees. As a result of her leadership in the creation and servicing of a private label product, she and her company were nominated for the Most Innovative Product and Best Small Business by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce as well as Best Technology by Perspective Magazine.
“I am honored to be named among the top women in our city,” said Jeanette Bunn, President and CEO, Travel To Go. “This is an opportunity to share what we do and our focus on helping others to benefit from the joys of vacationing.” Along with her full time commitment to her company, Bunn is highly active in the travel industry, participating in numerous panels to share her expertise and insights on current trends and ideas on how to continue to move the hospitality industry forward. She serves on the ARDA (American Resort Development Association) Travel Club Task force to identify, examine and explain existing travel club business models and is the former- Vice President of C.A.R.E. (a resort exchange organization) where she was instrumental in the success of C.A.R.E.’s Silent and Live Auctions and Super Raffles, having co-chaired the event since its inception in 2005.
As a result, over $150,000 has been raised for C.A.R.E.’s marketing efforts. Bunn was also recently named Co-President of Send Me On Vacation (wwwe.sendmeonvacation.org), which provides much needed vacations to women with cancer who have undergone treatment and need a place to rejuvenate and heal their bodies, mind and spirit.
Realizing that the foundation for a productive community stems from involvement, she and Travel To Go are proud to support non-profit organizations and other good causes through both donations of vacations, and by actively participating in local and regional charitable projects and events. This year, the eighth annual Women Who Move the City event benefiting the Salvation Army, Door of Hope will be held at San Diego’s Westin Gaslamp, Tuesday September 24, 2013. The reception provides a great opportunity to mingle and network with fellow businesswomen in a fun and uplifting atmosphere while honoring the many successful female leaders of the San Diego community and designating the Woman of the Year for 2013.
