The first two rapid new member welcomes (within 24-hrs) by Chamber Ambassador, Rochelle Chacon (Business Group Resources) were just a fluke - or were they?

Not even - Rochelle has extended herself again today by receiving a new Ambassador assignment last evening and then scheduling a 1-to-1 meet up with existing member Rick Davenport (Franchise owner of Pillar to Post Home Inspectors) this morning at 10 AM!

We thank you again Rochelle for taking your member assignments seriously and for helping our members, both new and existing, feel welcome and that their business is important to our community!

Yesterday late afternoon, we welcomed our newest members, George and Kathie Bloomfield (Bloomfield Group), to the Chamber! Last evening, George and Kathie were assigned to Chamber Ambassador, Rochelle Chacon (Business Group Resources).

Fast-forward to this morning, 11:42 am, Rochelle meets with George to welcome them to the Chamber and takes a brief view, as seen below. Now this is the kind of "warm and speedy" welcome that our new members not only deserve, but truly appreciate!

Please enjoy this introductory video featuring George Bloomfield.

In March 2019, we had 14 Mission Viejo Chamber Ambassadors and each of them were assigned a minimum of 10-15 fellow Chamber members. It became increasingly challenging to keep up with one's assigned members.

So the call went out at a Daybreakers Networking Breakfast: "We are looking for a few more to volunteer their time as Chamber Ambassadors. Can you reach out for this esteemed privilege"? Within a few days, there were four (4) members that answered that call to join our Ambassador Committee.

Over the next several months to date, many more have "taken up the call" and are volunteering their efforts to serve their fellow Chamber members (thus reducing the number of assigned members per Ambassador). We now have 30 Ambassadors!

Chamber Ambassadors have the privilege in taking the lead to set up one-to-one appointments with their assigned members, provide them timely reminders of upcoming key events and networking opportunities (which can assist them to build closer relationships with other business owners and gain greater exposure for their own businesses), help them become familiar and proficient with the powerful website marketing tools that are available, and become a valuable referral source to each other.

We now take this time to welcome our two (2) newest Ambassadors, Caleb Ward (Modern Woodmen of America) and Kristen Frey (PKSA Karate MV)! For a complete list of the Ambassador Committee, please click here: www.missionviejochamber.com/committees.html. 

We encourage the general Chamber membership to really embrace your assigned Ambassador and thoroughly benefit from their volunteer spirit and enthusiasm! If you have any comments or questions regarding the Ambassador program, please send an email to our Ambassador Committee Chair, John Rodriguez (iFinance Mortgage), at ambassadors@missionviejochamber.com.

Thank you Mission Viejo Chamber Ambassadors for your good work - you are indeed on FIRE!

On September 17th, Caleb Ward of Modern Woodmen of America (non-profit organization) joined the Chamber. That evening an Ambassador was assigned to help welcome Caleb. 

The very next day, September 18th, Ambassador Rochelle Chacon of Business Group Resources, scheduled a 1-to-1 visit with Caleb and took this brief introduction video.

This is a great example of the many positive upgrades to our new member "on-boarding" process and the diligence of our Ambassador team to provide a speedy warm welcome!

Please enjoy this brief introductory video taken by Chamber Ambassador, Joan Bornstein (Joan Bornstein Real Estate) as she interviewed new Chamber member American Association of University Women (AAUW), represented by Karen Dennis (co-president) and Martha Uriarte (Membership Outreach Chair).

We are thrilled to have the women of the AAUW join us as a non-profit organization in the Mission Viejo community!
