The CYC has been incredibly beneficial to my business. From the moment I joined, I felt as though they truly cared about my business and its success. From the networking events and Leadership Development program to the Home Show and pop-up opportunities, the CYC has given me countless opportunities to grow and scale. I’ve been able to build a wonderful network of other professionals (it takes a village) and I am forever grateful to the CYC team for continuing to enable my business to grow.
