A Message from the President
Welcome to the Canadian Netherlands Business and Professional Association (CNBPA).
The CNBPA has enjoyed a long history as one of the most vibrant and active European business chambers in Toronto. In addition to leading-edge business speakers, we provide a strong networking forum for both Dutch expatriates and Canadian business people with Dutch interests.
Our focus for 2012 will be to increase the value that the CNBPA brings to its members and the broader Dutch-Canadian community with which we interact. We will do this by offering more events at more venues throughout the GTA and working hard to increase attendance – and hence the networking opportunities – at these events.
We always welcome new corporate and individual members and invite you to get involved through both our business and social events. We also invite you to join our LinkedIn group, and to follow us on Twitter.
We look forward to meeting you at our next event, and thank all the members and the Toronto Dutch business community for their ongoing support of the CNBPA.
Tom Vandeloo,
President
