The Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce is more active and youthful than ever following the Chamber’s first in-person luncheon since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in May 26th. Under the new leadership of President Fred Senra, partner of Miami Lakes Auto Mall and a thirty-eight year resident, the Chamber is ushering itself to the next generation of Miami Lakes businessmen and women through the newly formed Young Professionals Committee. The Committee is focused on re-energizing the Chamber and spreading its influence in novel avenues to promote a strong and vibrant local economy. 

The Committee plans to significantly increase the online, digital presence of the Chamber of Commerce in order to better reach local businesses throughout Miami Lakes. Newly elected President Fred Senra, beaming with optimism, had only positive comments to say regarding the Committee and its digital goals: “I selected the members of The Young Professionals Committee because they each are young, dynamic business people with passion for the Miami Lakes business community and economy.

 The committee will rejuvenate the Chamber with fresh ideas and energy, starting with social media and internet outreach. I want to bring the Chamber’s guidance and helpful tools to all the local business in Miami Lakes we can reach – this committee will only help us expand on that goal!” The Committee consists of young, local professionals hand selected by President Fred Senra for their experience in digital marketing and their expertise of Miami Lakes. 

The members are: Brandon Diaz, LSSGB, MSM of the Town of Miami Lakes Department of Communication and Local Affairs, Rosy Barroso, LMHC, mental health specialist and owner of The Therapy Labs, Nancy Fernandez, client service manager of Apollo Bank, Philip Wyllie, leasing agent of the Graham Companies, and Matthew Casamayor of AC Graphics Digital. The Committee will assist the Chamber in its shift of focus onto popular social media outlets such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to reach the rising young professionals Miami Lakes continues to attract within its borders. 

Leveraging the wealth of business and local experience offered by existing Chamber members gives young and new business owners a source for relevant information and relationship building opportunities with other local businesses. In addition to its online outreach plan the Chamber’s traditional events and luncheons will resume, providing new and existing members with networking and business development opportunities in Miami Lakes and throughout greater Miami-Dade. Focused on the future and hungry for action, President Fred Senra poised the Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce for an active, expansive future that includes the ever-evolving digital age.
