Congratulations, Dora Abbruscato!

The February 2026 Ambassador of the Month!


The Batavia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce February’s Ambassador of the Month, Dora Abbruscato! New to the Ambassador program this year, Dora has embraced her volunteer role and truly hit the ground running.

As Regional Sales and Events Manager for Chamber member Comfort Inn & Suites Geneva, Dora is a natural “people person.” She enjoys connecting with members, making outreach calls on the Chamber’s behalf, and attending events — including welcoming new businesses at ribbon cuttings. A lifelong volunteer, Dora has supported fundraising efforts for PADS, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Shriners Children’s, and several animal rescue organizations.

Born in Italy and fluent in Italian, she brings both heart and enthusiasm to everything she does. She is also a proud mom to her daughter, Rosa, and a devoted dog mom to her

Yorkie puppy, Sassy.

Dora, your dedication and energy are truly appreciated by the Board of Directors, Chamber staff, and our entire membership. Thank you for all you do!
