issues, challenges and events or things happening in our area of focus.
We believe it's important to first listen to and understand what professionals and entrepreneurs in North
Edmonton - (North West and North East) might be looking for from our Association. We strongly believe
that by working together with business and government in our area, we can continually improve the
profile of our area and create additional business opportunities in our growing and vibrant community.
Our organization consists of a diverse group of business professionals with a wide range of skills and
expertise. By sharing common goals we are able to increase the opportunity for each business in our
community.
We are the connector for entrepreneurs and professionals (or individuals) who have an interest in doing
business in our geographical area of focus.
We look for opportunity to help our members’ foster relationships by:
 providing networking events such as business mixers or luncheon,

proactively setting up strategic business introduction sessions
