Ambassadors

2025 Ambassadors

Our Ambassadors are volunteer members who promote and represent the organization in the business community. The primary responsibility of a Chamber Ambassador is to act as a liaison between the chamber and its members, as well as to serve as an advocate for local businesses.

Chamber Ambassadors attend networking events, ribbon cuttings, and other community events to represent the Chamber and its members. They welcome new members, help them get involved in Chamber activities, and make sure they are aware of the benefits of membership. Ambassadors also assist with membership retention efforts by reaching out to existing members and providing them with information about upcoming events and opportunities.

Chamber Ambassadors also serve as mentors to new business owners and entrepreneurs, provide referrals to other Chamber members, and help the Chamber recruit new members. Overall, their role is to support the mission of the Chamber of Commerce and to help promote the success of local businesses.

For more information on taking advantage of this opportunity, call the Chamber at (559) 784-7502 or e-mail info@portervillechamber.org

Cindy Dogali

All California Title & Escrow

My name is Cindy Dogali, I am the escrow manager at All California Title and Escrow with over 30 years of experience, helping thousands of customers to fulfill their dream of being a home owner. Porterville has been my home town since 1973 after moving here from Oakland with my grandparents.

By focusing on customer service and utilizing my years of experience, it makes me proud to have strived in this industry for so many years. With the support of my family, friends and the amazing community we live in.

When not working hard to close escrow's I enjoy spending time with my grandson, son, friends and my horses. I love to also compete in barrel racing as well as ranch sorting and just being outside.

Debbie Collins

Tule River Economic Development Corporation

My name is Debbie Collins. I am the Human Resources Manager with Tule River Economic Development Corporation. My entire 40+ year career has been in the Human Resources field. I spent most of it in the Bay Area in staffing, manufacturing and semi-conductors.

We moved to the central coast in 2006 where I worked in various fields from Healthcare to Transportation and Data Management. When we relocated to the Central Valley in 2021, I was fortunate to experience a new opportunity with TREDC. I find working for a sovereign entity rewarding and challenging.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, reading, playing with my cats, and being with my family.
