Existing Member Spotlight - Unbridle It







Unbridle IT, Leeanne Gardner

During my 25-year career with airlines, technology and luxury hospitality corporations, I discovered that many of my colleagues couldn’t answer the question, “What lights you up?”. They didn’t have a passion or interest outside of their career. Through my connection with the horses, I knew the importance of having a balance between business and personal life. Upon my departure from the corporate world in 2008, I created Unbridle It, LLC, partnering with my beloved horses Sassy and Romeo. My original mission was to help individuals who had lost their passion, connect with horses to dig a little deeper into finding that spark. Now, after the loss of both of my horses, I continue to use my passion to help purpose driven individuals and organizations bring their passion for their business to life, without the horses.

Using my knowledge and experience with many facets of business including marketing, human resources, branding, operations and events, I understand the importance of having a solid business foundation to build upon.

I was happy to have the opportunity to help the Peoria Chamber build some momentum when Scot joined last year and will continue to support them from the sidelines as I build my client base back up.

This is the perfect time for businesses to take a close look at their own business foundation and make the necessary adjustments to improve efficiency.

Contact me and let’s discuss a mini marketing assessment to walk through your business and create an action plan to help you come back even stronger and ready to attract your target clients.

As I say, “You’ll never know your full potential until you Unbridle It!”

You can reach me at Bossmare@unbridleit.com, www.unbridleit.com or 480.619.1796.

A Fond Farewell....


For the past 3 years the Peoria Chamber of Commerce has called Mariners Way at P83 our home. Operating next to Huntington University, we enjoyed a wonderful space and access to our great multitude of small business members in Peoria and throughout the West Valley. As Huntington continues to expand and need space, our lease has ended and it's time for us to explore a future location. For now we will operate virtually, however our contact information, email and office phone remains the same. Technology is in place to ensure we are responsive to our members needs. While the visitor center remains closed under the current stay at home rules, we are discussing the future with our great partner, the City of Peoria. We're optimistic we'll find a great new home in the near future. We continue to employ our wonderful and talented team, as they focus on each of our businesses, and we are serving our businesses without interruption through this pandemic. With this we bid "a fond farewell" to our location at P83, as we explore our new future location to serve our members!
