CHAMBER MOB AT ZIGGY'S COFFEE - NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

10/12/2021

0 Comments

 
What started as a small coffee shop on the corner of Main Street in downtown Longmont, Colorado in 2004, has since grown to multiple drive-thru and coffeehouse locations across the U.S - including beautiful Mission Viejo! From the beginning, Ziggi's Coffee mission has always been simple: To serve a convenient and superior cup of coffee with service customers can rely on. 

On Monday, October 11th, several members from the MV Chamber, including Directors and the Daybreakers Networking Group Leadership Team, "mobbed" Ziggy's Coffee and loved the delicious coffee and food. Chamber Mobs afford a great opportunity to meet and network with fellow business owners and the community.

Now it's your turn, let's support our local businesses, large and small, as we strive to continue "making business happen" in the great city of Mission Viejo!

Last month, the Chamber launched it’s first educational class on behalf of the general membership. It was entitled: “The Secrets to Business Networking Success”. This “networking 101” class was truly welcomed and enjoyed by all attendees.
 
We are pleased to announce that plans are currently underway to present an “advanced networking” class after the start of the New Year. 
 
Additionally, there will be other classes added as follows: 
 
1) Sales Training: 3-part symposium on “Overcoming Objections”, “Closing Techniques”, and “Listening Skills”. 

2) Digital Marketing & Social Media Training: learn more effective ways to employ “digital tools” in your marketing and how to use social media to enhance your business presence. 

​As you can see, the Board of Directors and many other volunteers, are eagerly seeking more avenues to add greater value to our memberships, such as by offering helpful educational classes. 
 
If you have an interesting and helpful subject matter that you would like to present or have presented, please contact John Rodriguez at jrod@ifminc.com.
 
Stay tuned for more educational classes to be announced and when registration will open!

The Chamber Board Committees have been formed to provide structure in order to help the Chamber accomplish many necessary tasks and functions. All committees are coordinated by a Board Chair and comprised of volunteer members who work diligently on behalf of the general membership.
 
Our current Chamber Board Committees include: Ambassadors, Communications, Community Affairs, Events, and Membership. More information will be forthcoming regarding the Community Affairs and Membership committees. 
 
If you would like more information on how to volunteer for a committee, please send an email to the Chamber Board Committee Chair listed on the webpage or speak directly with them at an upcoming event.

And, yes, Chamber Ambassadors have lots of fun as they attend and support various events with their fellow members (enjoy a few pictures below).

We take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of our Board of Directors as they expend many volunteer hours each week on behalf of the Chamber and its members, while continuing to ensure their own businesses stay successful too.
 
We also greatly appreciate the excellent work of our CEO, Doug Zielasko and his Executive Assistant, Kari Casarietti, as they help manage the business operations of the Chamber and maintain a close working relationship with the City of Mission Viejo and the surrounding business community. 
 
Some of the responsibilities that our Directors have oversight of include, but are not limited to: planning and scheduling beneficial events, onboarding and welcoming new members and helping them obtain the maximum value for their membership, keeping up-to-date with ever-changing legislation that may impact our businesses, and providing continuous education and communication via multiple media outlets to our members and the community.
 
Please take a moment to review the Board of Directors webpage and schedule a one-to-one visit with them, getting to know these hard-working volunteers better and benefitting from their many years of combined Chamber and business experience.

Tri-Chamber Mixer was an Amazing Event at YTEL!

10/13/2019

0 Comments

 
On Thursday, October 10th, attendees gathered at the YTEL building in Lake Forest for our final Tri-Chamber Mixer. This mixer was hosted by the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce.

As attendees came through the front doors, they were warmly greeted by all three Chambers (Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and RSM) and kindly directed to first take a fun photo with Takata Photo & Design and then make their way to the meet n greet areas where the food, beverages, opportunity drawing prizes, and Chamber tables were located.

It was so refreshing observing the three Chambers interacting and sharing contact information to be used at a later time. The City Mayors were also on hand to support this special event, along with Board members and Ambassadors from each Chamber.

To see all the photos, follow this link: www.takatapd.com/p942096802.

We look forward to announcing our 2020 Tri-Chamber Mixers in the very near future!
