jonese@thebarcc.org

Jonese L. Burnett received her MBA in May of 2003 from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. Soon after she joined Cintas Corporation on the Distribution-Production Planning management team and shortly after she was promoted to a Global Accounts Hospitality Program Manager, where she managed a multi-million dollar portfolio. Jonese was recently promoted to be the Global Accounts MT Program Manager and Advance Management Program. In addition, she will monitor the GA&SM MT training, participation in the Cintas Mentoring Program and recruiting for Chicago. She has successfully completed several areas of training while matriculating in her career with Cintas, one of which includes becoming a certified Six Sigma Green Belt.

Born and raised in Chicago, Jonese is new to the Bronzeville/Douglas community, however she is not a stranger. Jonese has attended the Mt. Pisgah Missionary Baptist church located on 46th and King Drive her entire life, where she is apart of the Women’s Auxiliary and the Youth Ministry. She also serves as a board member and Marketing Director for the Bronzeville Area Residents’ and Commerce Council (BARCC). She takes great pride in her education and enjoys giving back to her elementary and high schools as a mentor for students at Beasley Academic Center and Whitney Young Magnet High School. In her spare time she is constantly engaged in participating in community service projects for children, breast cancer awareness, and battered women.
