Strengthen organizational capacity of emerging chambers through coaching on governance, membership development, and project implementation.

Promote shared best practices to ensure uniform excellence and professionalism among provincial chambers.

Expand collaborative networks, allowing mentee chambers to connect with experienced leaders, potential partners, and national programs.

Accelerate regional economic growth by empowering chambers to become more effective in advocating for local businesses.
