The Cypress Chamber of Commerce is pleased to bring back the popular Student Business/Mentor Breakfast for 2025. We are looking for mentors in all fields of work who would like to be a part of our popular annual breakfast program to be held on Tuesday, January 14th 2025. This will be an opportunity to share your wisdom, background, and subject matter expertise with students over breakfast. The program is geared for high school juniors and seniors. Mentors are matched with students who have expressed a career interest in their area of work. The key areas of interest this year are healthcare, business, finance, engineering, arts & media, education, law and various fields of science.
The program also includes a keynote speaker. Our speaker this year is Mandi Ortiz, Senior Manager, Live Entertainment for the Las Vegas Raiders. Mandi is an Orange County native who attended Cypress High as well as Chapman University where she graduated in 2016 Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts, Strategic and Corporate Communication and a minor in Broadcast Journalism.
Prior to joining the Las Vegas Raiders Mandi was the Marketing and Entertainment Manager of the Anaheim Angels. She started her career with the Angels while still at Chapman and moved up through the ranks.
She also worked in entertainment for the Anaheim Ducks and on special events like Major League Soccer’s All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Additionally, Mandi helped run her family’s former restaurant, Subs and Grub, for five years post-graduation.
Our event will be held at the Cypress Community Center at 5700 Orange Avenue in Cypress Starting from 7:00am – 9:00am.
The Student-Business Breakfast is a free event for both the students and mentors and is made possible by the support of our sponsors.
