Chamber Member of the Month

We are celebrating BEM Business Services as our Member of the Month!



We are thrilled to celebrate BEM Business Services as our member of the month! Located nearby in Gladstone at 7001 N. Locust, BEM is owned and operated by Bridget Mendoza, a dedicated professional who is passionate about helping organizations reach their full potential.


While BEM originally focused strictly on traditional business development, Bridget has brought a powerful, mission-driven shift to her firm by specializing in
nonprofit fractional growth and fundraising services. She realized that many incredible nonprofits and mission-led organizations need high-level strategic guidance and fundraising expertise, but don't always have the budget to hire a full-time executive director or development director.


That is where BEM Business Services steps in. Bridget provides vital fractional leadership, stepping into organizations on a part-time or project basis to build capacity, streamline senior-level growth strategies, and implement sustainable fundraising models. Her work ensures that these vital organizations can solve their structural and financial challenges, allowing them to focus entirely on what they do best: serving our communities.


Bridget’s deep heart for community and her sharp business acumen make BEM Business Services a fantastic asset to our region. Please join us in celebrating Bridget and BEM Business Services for the incredible work they do to strengthen the organizations that support us all!
