The lines: AM General (South Bend seat, Mishawaka works) — John Chadbourne, president and chief executive officer, effective 27 March 2026, on the company's release. Gurley Leep Automotive (Grape Road) — led by the founder's sons, Mike Leep Jr. and James Leep, in the public roles the record names. Bethel University — Dee McDonald, ninth president, from 1 July 2025, on the university's releases. Gates Automotive (West McKinley Avenue) — the house's own current account keeps it family-owned in the third and fourth generations; the last named president in the record reached is Larry Gates (2004), and the present named head is a gap, not a guess. Jordan Ford and Jordan Toyota — the founder's name over stores owned since 2021 by Sonic Automotive; no Kapson chief remains, and none is printed. Dodge — no Mishawaka chief exists to name: the founder's company is RBC Bearings' Dodge Industrial, headquartered at Simpsonville, South Carolina, and its Mishawaka ground is a brownfield under remediation. The First National's line — Mishawaka's charter of 1901 lives inside 1st Source Bank of South Bend, whose chiefs are that city's record and are boundary-printed here in one line, unnamed.
