Ambassadors

Meet February’s “Ambassador of the Month” – Sylvia Tenorio

Sylvia, 68, was born in San Francisco, but moved to Rochester, NY in her early teens.  She eventually settled in California and pursued a career in cosmetology. She married, had two sons and made her home in Moreno Valley for 20 years, where she worked for the Moreno Valley school district as a school bus driver. She retired in 1998.

In 2004, she came to visit a dear friend who lived in the Coachella Valley and decided to make Indio her home.  After retiring, she wanted to do more with her life because she needed a purpose. She thought about volunteering at one of the animal shelters, but knew she would end up taking all the dog’s home. One day she went to the Indio Senior Center to purchase things at a garage sale and that was where her volunteer journey began. She became a member in 2012, and in the same year became a volunteer. She wanted to make even more of a difference and became a board member in 2016.

Over the years, she has held many positions as a volunteer, for many organizations and in Chamber committees. Most recently she held the position as chairperson for the Senior Center’s Annual Health Fair. In 2018, she was elected President of the FOISC. Her love for the Indio Senior Center inspired her to want to do more for seniors, and our community. She joined the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce in 2019 and became an Ambassador and Indio Board Member. In 2022, she became a member of the advisory council for the Alzheimer’s Association. In the same year she was awarded Ambassador of the year by the GCVCC.

She was selected to be this year’s Ambassador Chairperson for The GCVCC.  Sylvia says her journey has just begun and she will continue to reach out to our seniors, veterans and communities. “I’m living my best life,” said Sylvia. “I know we can make a difference one smile at a time.”
