The KC Chamber mourns the passing of Christopher S. “Kit” Bond, a statesman who achieved results throughout his legendary career by listening to others and building bridges across political divides.

Bond’s staff reflected his commitment to professionalism and constituent service; many subsequently embarked upon civic and business leadership roles across the Kansas City region. The Christopher S. Bond Bridge and other projects that bear his name remind us of his profound impact on our nation, state, region, and the lives of the citizens he proudly served.
