My name is Annissa Fragoso and I am the proud owner of the downtown Farmers Insurance Agency located at 527 W Main Street, Merced CA. I began my career with Farmers Insurance in 2012 and my overall insurance experience as an insurance professional is 16 years. I have been serving as a Director for the Chamber for approximately 9 years and I currently serve as the MCHCC President for the 2021 – 2022. I also serve as Board of Director for the Kids Discovery Station, a museum dedicated to children. Which is scheduled to open this fall.

My greatest challenge as President is assisting the community with Covid19 resources and the re-opening of local businesses after 2020. My hopes are to create strong leadership, and partnerships within the community so the MCHCC can continue to advocate and educated small business owners in their efforts of recovering economically.

My greatest achievement has been chairing the 5K Cowboy/Vaquero Run. For 5 years in a row, the Hispanic Chamber’s event has helped keep the scholarship foundation funded for Merced County graduating seniors.

I come from the City of Tracy Ca, where I was born and raised, however I have resided in the community of Merced for over 25 years. On my past time, I enjoy spending time with my grandson Noah. I hope to continue to give back to the community and in the future to remembered for my love and generosity for all humanity.
