Q: How long have you been a<br />
<strong>Chamber</strong> member and Ambassador?<br />
A: I have a been a <strong>Chamber</strong><br />
member for two years and an Ambassador<br />
for just one year. I am lucky that<br />
my company, Ventura Investment Co allows<br />
me time to be an Ambassador and<br />
network with the <strong>Chamber</strong>.<br />
Q: What does being a <strong>Chamber</strong><br />
Ambassador mean to you?<br />
A: Being an Ambassador allows<br />
me to share my experience with others<br />
and mentor them as I was treated when<br />
I was new to the local area. It’s great to<br />
have the opportunity to welcome them<br />
to our community.<br />
Q: What is your favorite memory<br />
or story <strong>of</strong> your time as an Ambassador?<br />
A: In November I was working<br />
with FOOD Share to collect nonperishable<br />
foods for those in need when a<br />
<strong>Chamber</strong> member saw in the weekly<br />
<strong>Chamber</strong> email that I was collecting.<br />
She had a birthday party and asked her<br />
guests to bring food donation in lieu <strong>of</strong><br />
gifts. Imagine my surprise when I returned<br />

Ambassador <strong>of</strong> the Quarter<br />
Tammy Becker<br />
The <strong>Camarillo</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> Ambassadors are key to the successful workings<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Chamber</strong>. They act as an extension <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Chamber</strong>’s member services department,<br />
reaching out to new members and existing members, making them feel welcome, answering questions<br />
and acting as liaisons between the <strong>Chamber</strong> staff and members.<br />
never forget her selflessness. I hope to<br />
inspire more <strong>of</strong> our community members<br />
to support each other like this.<br />
Q: What is your personal philosophy,<br />
either in business or life in general?<br />
A: I try to live each day without<br />
regret, to consider other before myself<br />
and always treat other in the manner I<br />
would like to be treated.<br />
Q: What do you like to do in<br />
your spare time?<br />
A: In my spare time, I enjoy<br />
spending time with my husband & traveling,<br />
I enjoy the outside and working/<br />
volunteering my time to assist local non<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>its, and networking and events at the<br />
<strong>Chamber</strong><br />
Q: Do you have any parting<br />
words <strong>of</strong> wisdom you would like to impart<br />
to our readership?<br />
A: I think we should all slow<br />
down. Life moves so quickly today that<br />
we <strong>of</strong>ten forget the importance <strong>of</strong> looking<br />
up from our computers, iPads and<br />
televisions to enjoy our surroundings and<br />
those closest to us.<br />
