In Acosta’s role, she will contribute to the growth and success of the West Orange Chamber by working closely with the president/CEO with regard to the governance of the organization to the board of directors, trustees and members. She also will be responsible for ensuring efficient operation and maintenance of the office, building and grounds of the chamber.

Acosta has lived in Apopka for 25 years with her husband and three children. In her free time, she enjoys cycling on the West Orange Trail and visiting the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive with her family.
