About

History

The Cochrane Chapter of the network began in 2005 by Jim Messner and his associates and was quickly followed by other Chapters in the city of Calgary. The idea was to provide an atmosphere where networking could happen naturally and where ideas could be shared that would be valuable to a variety of business owners. The group was never designed to compete or to conflict with other organizations – in fact we have always supported the idea of other business organizations and occasionally even do joint projects with them. Our network today is focused on bringing a unique offering to the marketplace that operates as a powerful addendum to all of your networking, learning, marketing, and social media efforts. It is our desire to see you succeed in all that you do.
