About JCCM

The JCCM's mission is to develop, represent and promote the next generation of business leaders. Constantly on the move, it is a collective that brings together people from diverse backgrounds who wish to act and reflect together towards a common goal. Founded in 1931, it now boasts nearly 2,000 members, agé‧e‧s aged 18 to 40, including 150 volunteers, making it the largest young chamber in the world. Thanks to a multitude of events organized each year, the JCCM is a key venue for the development of Montreal's next generation of business leaders. What's more, the JCCM relies on invaluable funding from the Quebec government, as well as the support of major partners who have the next generation at heart: Bell, CN, the City of Montreal and Fondaction.

About the Board of Directors and its role
