CPC Members Matter

At CPC, our members are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Members Matter initiative is all about featuring individual members and allowing other members to get to know the people who are part of their CPC community. Open the menu items below to watch some of our member videos.

We would love to feature you! CPC members can learn more about how to participate by logging into our members site and watching our Members Matter webinar recording.

She learned that CPC was holding a conference in the Greater Toronto Area and offered a door prize of a gift certificate for her services. A few months later, Sharon Graham reached out to Janet when she needed a virtual assistant. Janet remembers this as a major turning point for her and remains grateful, not just for the business, but for everything she’s learned and the many interesting people she’s come to know through her involvement with CPC.
