CABC PROGRAMS
| Armenia Programs |
|
|
The ultimate goal is to allow Armenian manufacturers to promote and sell their products in Canada, and eventually the United States. CABC acts as a marketing medium for these businesses and represents them through its members in the Canadian market. CABC can, in certain instances, provide technological support to these businesses and help them expand their existing enterprises.
These programs are developed through the Inter-trade committee. They are designed with activities that are self-funding.
|
| Membership Education Programs |
|
|
CABC organizes one event per month (except summer months) that would bring experienced guest speakers from a number of industries. To this day, many individuals have shown interest and presented speeches on topics such as tax planning, life styles, banking and financial services, public speaking, etc.
|
| Student Scholarships |
|
CABC will undertake a Student Scholarship program geared toward Armenian students studying at the university level.
These type of programs will help:
| • | Recognize the efforts of Armenian students in higher education |
| • | Encourage the students to continue to excel |
These scholarships are based on merit or competitions organized by CABC. The Recognition of Excellence Committee will administer the program.
In addition to the Student Scholarship program, CABC will consider:
| • | Internship programs for students to acquire experience in their field of study (summer only or after graduation). |
| • | Providing students with job hunting tools after graduation; CV preparation, interview process, networking, etc. |
| • | Mentoring young entrepreneurs |
| • | Starting a Summer Jobs program |
| • | Starting a Vocational Jobs program |
|
| Recognition of Excellence - Member and Non-Member Achievers |
|
| • | CABC recognizes the achievements of countless Armenian businesses and professionals with a Recognition of Excellence program - governed by an independent committee. |
| • | Many categories and various levels of achievement are established, each with their own rules, guidelines, and conditions. It is suggested that some of those categories are geared toward members of CABC and some open to any individual, regardless of their membership status. |
| • | The winners are announced at the Annual Gala of CABC where they claim their prizes. |
|
| Non-Armenian Events |
|
The goal is to promote the doings of the Armenian business community to the public at large and to educate them about our culture. This interaction also helps CABC establish new business relationships and strengthen existing ones. CABC also organizes smaller, local events for the benefit of non-Armenian communities. These type of events help increase membership and sponsorship through corporate donations.
The following are some suggested events for which CABC is considering participating:
| • | Canada Day Parade |
| • | St. Patrick's Day Parade |
| • | Christmas Sun Youth food baskets |
| • | Telethon of Stars CFCF12 |
|
| Endowment Fund |
|
CABC shall establish an Endowment Fund that will receive its income through a yearly allocation of revenues as well as donations or sponsorships. The fund will provide the finances necessary to continue the educational and/or charitable programs established by the organization.
These programs include:
| • | Continuing education for members |
| • | Student scholarships |
| • | Armenia programs |
| • | Non-Armenian events |
Other programs may be added in the future.
|
| R&D, Vital Statistics Database |
|
The CABC is embarking on an ambitious community-wide statistics project called Vital Statistics Database (VSD).
The database will provide detailed information about Armenian businesses and professionals, first in Quebec, then in Canada. It will help monitor the growth and expansion of the Armenian business and professional community. There is a well-recognized need for more in-depth information about Armenian businesses and professionals in Canada. This is what the VSD will try to achieve.
The survey will collect detailed information on the number and types of businesses and professionals, their revenues and expenditures, their employment criteria and structure.
The creation of the VSD will help CABC increase awareness for its existence as well as promote its activities to current member and non-member Armenian businesses and professionals.
