On January 7th, several Goleta Valley Chamber Ambassadors on the 2010 team received training at a special orientation held at the Ramada Limited Hotel. Max White, ably assisted by Ambassador Secretary Hallie Avolio of Latitude 34 Technologies, provided an overview of the Chamber's Mentorship Program.

In this revitalized program, each Ambassador will serve as a mentor to 4 or 5 new Chamber members, contacting them each month and answering any questions or concerns they may have about events, benefits and promotional opportunities.

Participating were Alisa Wilcox of FTI Services, Dr. Kara Gochnour of Santa Barbara Wellness for Life, Tiffany Lesperance of Pacifica Suites and Teri Breier, The Writing Goddess.

For those Ambassadors who missed this session, a makeup orientation was held on January 15th at Zizzo's Coffee.
