I the Whittier Chamber
Kim Ortega
Au.D. Doctor of Audiology, Whittier Hearing Center
“Being a member of the Whittier Chamber is important to me because it keeps me connected to other business owners throughout the community. They also help to keep me informed of local, regional and state issues that may have an impact on my business. Lastly, the Chamber gives back so much to the community and members support each other in so many ways.”
Mario Navarro
New York Life
“The city of Whittier has been my home for 22 years and it brings me great joy to be the local New York Life Agent here, I only wish that I would have joined and become a member sooner. Joining has given me a platform to share the importance of financial planning with young adults; something so important that many do not focus on until their later years or when it is too late. Thanks to the Chamber and its many events, I have been able to put myself in front of many people, some of who are now my clients and friends, and help them protect what matters most to them. If it were not for the resources and opportunities provided through this chamber, my business would not be as strong as it is right now. Thank you Whittier Chamber!”
Barbara Dunagan
Integrity Tax and Notary Services
“As I start my 2nd year with the Whittier Chamber I believe it was one of the best things I did when I decided to start my own business a year ago. Even though I have not been able to attend some of the events they plan, my information gets distributed through them regularly. New clients come in and say they found me through the Whittier Chamber. This is a great way to market and grow your business.”
