Our 2019 "Buy Local Showcase" is fast-approaching on Thursday, September 19. This is a special event presented to the general public by the Mission Viejo Chamber of Commerce, in close cooperation with the City of Mission Viejo.

Today, a small group of Ambassadors and Directors paid visits to local businesses discussing the many benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce.

The Group consisted of: Donna Lang Stoffel (Director/Ambassador, of Heightened Health), John Rodriguez (Director/Ambassador, of iFinance Mortgage), Cody Abril (Ambassador/Communications, of New Generation Dentistry), and Ashley Brunier (Ambassador, of Waste Management).

The focus was on business owners with little time to participate in networking events and therefore may hesitate to join the Chamber. We demonstrated (with Cody and Ashley, younger representatives of their respective businesses) that business owners might be able to identify another trusted employee to attend and represent their business interests at Chamber-sponsored events and help to build more solid business relationships that could lead to increased referrals and closed business.

Many businesses showed positive interest in becoming Chamber members, some immediately and others in the very near future. The "group" even stopped by to visit fellow Chamber member, Julie Schmidt, of Team Logic IT.  So great seeing you, Julie!

We thank Donna, John, Cody, and Ashley for taking a couple hours of their busy day to participate in this important campaign. #mvchamber #missionviejochamber #missionviejo #wearethefunchamber #communityoutreach #millennialcampaign

Many business owners and managers within Mission Viejo are extremely busy as they run the day-to-day operations of their respective businesses. So much so, that it may leave them little time to participate in their local Chamber of Commerce networking and business showcase events.

In an effort to encourage more local businesses to join and experience the benefits of their local Mission Viejo Chamber of Commerce, we will soon be launching a campaign that focuses on helping willing and able millennials (and/or other select employees) to participate in Chamber activities when their employers are not able to.  Employers will be encouraged to send a capable employee to represent their company and business interests and help grow their overall community visibility. 

Stay tuned for more details regarding this special campaign over the next several weeks. #mvchamber #missionviejochamber #missionviejo #networking #millennials #represent #participationcampaign
