Proud to call Jacksonville her hometown, Ashley Folladori has always had a passion for the region. With her experience at the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce, she has become a strong advocate for the region’s exceptional quality of life. As Vice President of Public Affairs, she works daily to promote JAX Chamber members and the business-friendly environment they foster to encourage sustainable economic growth in Northeast Florida.

Before that, she led several talent development initiatives, including as manager of the Chamber’s young professionals’ group ImpactJAX and later as a senior manager for a range of talent development programs.

Ashley received her bachelor’s degree in International Affairs from Florida State University, where she currently serves on the Florida State University Alumni Association National Board of Directors. She is an active member of the Jacksonville community, having served as Past President of the Jacksonville Seminole Club, a member of the 2019 Leadership St. Johns Class, and the Leadership Jacksonville Class of 2023. Ashley currently enjoys serving on the Duval County Public Schools sales surtax oversight committee, on the Board of Directors of Build Up Downtown, and as a Mayoral Appointee to the Greater Cultural Council of Jacksonville. Her favorite time is spent with her two children, JD and Leo.
