There are many amazing business owners within the Mission Viejo Chamber of Commerce who tirelessly work hard on behalf of their fellow members and the community, including our various committee members (Ambassadors, Communications, Events, Membership), Daybreakers Leadership Team, and our Board of Directors.

This month we are highlighting one of our dear members who displays an incredible volunteer spirit as a Director, Ambassador, Events Committee Co-Chair, and master networker and business relationship builder - Donna Lang Stoffel, of Heightened Health.

Donna continuously seeks the advantage of others, works hard to cross-promote her fellow Chamber members, and supports as many events and functions as humanly possible. 

Heightened Health promotes health and wellness for life by showcasing nutritional products and physiovascular therapy devices, all contributing to a healthy lifestyle. To contact Donna for more information, please call 949-463-0520 or email her at info@heightenedhealth.net. Also, visit her website at www.heightenedhealth.net.

On Thursday, July 11th, the Mission Viejo business community gathered at Fidelity Investments to celebrate their Ribbon Cutting.

In attendance were representatives from the City, County, State, and Federal government offices who presented welcome certificates to the management of Fidelity Investments.  Also, various Chamber Directors, Ambassadors, and members showed their support and participated in the Ribbon Cutting ceremonies.

We are thrilled to welcome to the Mission Viejo Chamber business family, Fidelity Investments!

Today, Medha Patel, the Communications Coordinator for the Moulton Niguel Water District (MNWD) met over lunch at the High Park Tap House with Chamber Director and Communications Committee Chair, John Rodriguez, of iFinance Mortgage.

Medha expressed appreciation for the Chamber's efforts to help grow our local businesses by means of targeted marketing and networking efforts. John commended the MNWD for their participation in the Chamber as Silver members and their dedicated efforts to  continually educate the private sectors and business communities on how to best use our water resources.

Thank you to High Park Tap House General Manager, Michael, and his staff, for taking such good care of us at lunch! It was also great to see Jerry Bryant, The Bee Man, upon leaving the restaurant! #thebeeman #JohnandValcantakevacationnow #thepowerofnetworking #mvchamber #missionviejo #missionviejochamber #waterconservation

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 visitors come to our Chamber Daybreaker's Networking Breakfast on Tuesday's. After visiting twice, our guests generally decide whether or not the Chamber is a good fit for them and their business.

Director and Ambassador Chair, John Rodriguez (iFinance Mortgage) scheduled a one-to-one appointment with guest, Bethany Pryor (Bethany Pryor Photography) to see how she enjoyed her Daybreaker's experience. Bethany truly enjoyed meeting so many professionally-minded business owners who enjoy building long-lasting relationships and referring business to each other.

​Bethany plans on joining the Chamber now! Please enjoy this brief video interview giving us a little more information on Bethany's photography services. #mvchamber #missionviejochamber #missionviejo #powerofvideomarketing #onetoonesarevital
