Masterminds & Networking Groups
Building Connections
We all like to work with people we know and trust. We all like to be part of something. The CYC gives you opportunity for all of it, with regular opportunities to connect with like-minded leaders who know the impact and value of community.

Networking Groups
Entrepreneurs in Motion (EIM) is more than a traditional networking group—it’s a supportive community of local business owners and professionals who are committed to helping one another grow.
While referrals and introductions are certainly a benefit, EIM is really about the relationships built along the way. Members connect through meaningful conversations, share best practices, strengthen communication skills, and learn from each other’s experiences. It’s a space to collaborate, exchange ideas, celebrate wins, and navigate challenges with people who genuinely want to see you succeed.
NEW meeting date and time!
Networking at 9 is a Chamber-based, relationship-driven networking group designed to help you build meaningful connections, collaborate with other local professionals, and grow long-term business relationships. If you believe strong, authentic relationships are the foundation of sustainable business growth, you’ll fit right in. Members support one another—and the Chamber—through engagement, encouragement, and shared success.
Who wouldn’t benefit from a sounding board now and again? That’s what the Small Business Mastermind offers. Join us monthly for dynamic discussions among non-competing businesses on everything from tackling challenges to seizing
opportunities. Expect invaluable shared experiences from people who’ve “been there”.
The Not-for-Profit (NFP) Mastermind is a group of nonprofit leaders who gather quarterly to discuss challenges, opportunities, and best practices in the nonprofit world.
A program of the CYC in partnership with Scotiabank, The MARC Group, and Fair Chance Learning, Women in Leadership Development (W.I.L.D.) is where women come to grow as leaders, build confidence, and reconnect with what drives them. Through reflective conversations, real-world leadership tools, and a community of powerhouse peers, you’ll leave feeling inspired and ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
There are three cohorts per year.
Applications are not currently being accepted. Stay tuned for 2026 dates!

Hear from our members
I joined the Mastermind group in November 2020 and find the members are very willing to help each other and we can bounce off ideas in a safe place with no judgement. There are many opportunities to learn from challenges and successes of others and pick up tips to implement in our own business. Last year the group suggested that I claim my business on Google to help raise my profile. This resulted in many new inquiries, and it encouraged me to continue asking for testimonials from my clients.

Tap into the transformative power of community.
We’ve all heard the saying “it’s who you know”. While we tend to think there’s some truth to that, the sentence doesn’t quite capture it all. In the landscape of business, developing authentic relationships is essential for accessing new opportunities, for business and career acceleration, and to keep learning.
