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 goals for 2010 are:
(1) continue to build community, membership and our online presence;
(2) host at least 6 diverse networking events;
(3) continue to ensure the CNBPA is self-sustaining through our long-term sponsorship strategy.
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 and Facebook groups, 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.
Lisa Stam,
President
