Message from the President
Dear Valued Members,
I hope this message finds you well as we welcome the arrival of spring and a season of renewed energy and opportunities.
We kicked off this month with an incredible International Women’s Day Celebration on March 8th, where we welcomed over 300 participants! It was truly inspiring to see so many new faces, share meaningful discussions, and celebrate the achievements of women in our community. Your enthusiasm and engagement reaffirm that CTCC is on the right track, and I sincerely thank you all for your continued support.
As we look ahead, we are gearing up for our Annual Awards Gala on April 12th at the Hilton Markham—our most prestigious event of the year! This evening is dedicated to recognizing outstanding individuals and businesses within our community. The Awards Selection Committee and our Board have been working tirelessly to ensure a fair and thorough selection process. We can’t wait to celebrate the success stories that shape our business and professional landscape.
I encourage you all to attend and be part of this memorable night. It’s not only an evening of recognition but also a fantastic opportunity to network, connect, and support the spirit of entrepreneurship and excellence within our community.
Thank you for being an integral part of the CTCC. Your participation and contributions are what make this organization stronger. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Gala! Best regards,
Warm regards,
Ari A. AriaranPresident, CTCC
