Congratulations to Elizabeth Elsanadi (Century 21/Kaufman Property Group), winner of the "Special Recognition Award"! We take this moment to acknowledge her hard work and extra efforts on behalf of her fellow Chamber members.

Elizabeth has been a valued Chamber member since July 2018 and has really "dove head-first" into the volunteer spirit by serving on both the Ambassador and Communications Committees. She is already a very busy realtor and yet, still gives of what little extra time she has, to serve her fellow Chamber members.

Elizabeth is highly visible at each Chamber event and networking opportunity. She regularly reaches out to her assigned Ambassador members to remind them to benefit from various Chamber activities.

As one of the Communications Committee members, perhaps Elizabeth is best known for her "paparazzi" skills and capturing key people moments at events such as our weekly Daybreakers Networking Breakfast, Ribbon Cuttings, Monthly Mixers, Happy Hours, and Chamber Mobs, and more. Then she spends time posting these amazing key moments to our social media outlets (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) (we also thank Diana Moreno for handling our LinkedIn posts). Over the last few months, nearly 100 posts has been created on behalf of the Chamber!

We say thank you again, Elizabeth, for working so hard on behalf of your fellow Chamber members!

To contact Elizabeth for real estate questions, including leases, please call 714-420-1031 or via email at elizabeth@kaufmanpg.com.

It's with great excitement that we proudly announce our Chamber "Ambassador of the Quarter", Joan Bornstein (Joan Bornstein Real Estate Services).

Joan has been with the Chamber since March 2017 and brings with her a wealth of real estate and life experience. She genuinely cares for her clients and knows the business community like the back of her hand.

Joan joined the Ambassador Committee back in the Spring of 2019. Since then, she has both diligently and willingly given of her time each month to help her assigned members to realize the greatest value for their membership, better use the website marketing tools available to them, and faithfully provides timely reminders for upcoming events and networking opportunities. 

While it's true that we have an awesome group of Chamber Ambassadors who are giving of themselves daily on behalf of their assigned members, we will proudly offer the "Ambassador of the Quarter" to Joan Bornstein!

If you would like to contact Joan for any real estate questions, please call 949-742-1978 or via email at info@joanbornstein.com.

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

So good to see our hard-working female business-owners enjoy some relax time together at High Park Tap House. Co-Owner Valorie Green leading the charge. #missionviejo #missionviejochamber #mvchamber #womenofstrengthandbusiness

 Recently, 10 stellar women of the Mission Viejo Chamber enjoyed a fun night out to further strengthen their friendships and business relationships. The event was hosted by High Park Tap House co-owner and Chamber Board member, Valorie Green.

​We can foresee this group of amazing women business leaders growing stronger in numbers for their next night of fun! #mvchamber #missionviejochamber #missionviejo #womenofstrengthandbusiness #ladiesfunnightout #highparktaphouse

One the amazing benefits of participating in the Mission Viejo Chamber is the 1-to-1 meet ups.

Recently, Chamber Ambassador, John Rodriguez, met up with the owner of My Simple Palate, Jaclyn Tran (and her adorable daughter McKenzie) at the High Park Tap House.

More was learned about Jaclyn's "why" (she does what she does to help others) and her family story of health traumas which led her to becoming a passionate advocate for those suffering from and coping with Eosinophilic Disease and the Bullying that often comes with it.

Shortly, the full video interview will be posted on the Chamber YouTube channel and on our Blog. For now, enjoy the fond picture memory of the 1-to-1 appointment. In the photo, blue jeans are being worn to support "Rare Disease Day".

To contact Jaclyn for more information about Eosinophilic Disease and Bullying Prevention, please email her at mysimplepalate@yahoo.com or call (714) 585-9877.
