A Message From Our President

Good evening, 

First off I'd like to apologize for not being here in person this evening to celebrate the re-birth of the Calgary CIBPA chapter, it is with great pride that I applaud you all for this memorable achievement and bring greetings from the National Federation of CIBPA.

Myself and the National Federation of CIBPA board of directors are here to support the Calgary chapter and provide guidance as you promote and cultivate the business, professional, cultural and social interests of your members by representing the Italian Canadian community at large. 

For more than 75 years since our first chapter was created in Montreal in 1949 CIBPA has risen to the opportunities within our Canadian Italian community. The strength of our community has been essential to our success across Canada.

Our membership brings together a broad range of entrepreneurs, business leaders and professionals with the goal of connecting people, nurturing relationships, and providing a network for collaboration and the exchange of ideas.

I personally am excited to see how the Calgary chapter will take shape as the months and years go by.

You have an incredible individual JoeQ from the Thunder Bay CIBPA chapter with you this evening who I'm confident will be able to answer your questions and be sure to share a proven path to a what a successful chapter looks like. 

I look forward to meeting you all, enjoy the evening. 

Wishing you all the Best,

Gianni Leonetti, National Federation CIBPA President
