On July 5, 2025, the Filipino Canadian Chamber of Commerce held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) along with the Induction of New Officers. The event brought together Filipino business owners, professionals, and community leaders to reflect on the chamber’s achievements over the past year, discuss plans for the coming year, and formally welcome newly elected officers into their roles.
“This chamber was never about me—it’s about us. And as I pass the torch, I do so with confidence, knowing that our new leadership will build on our foundation and take FCCC-GV to greater heights.” – CCM
During the AGM, the outgoing officers presented annual reports highlighting key accomplishments, financial updates, and strategic goals. Members had the opportunity to raise concerns, propose new initiatives, and participate in shaping the chamber’s direction.
The Induction Ceremony followed, where the new set of officers was formally sworn in. The induction symbolizes a renewed commitment to the chamber’s mission of empowering Filipino entrepreneurs, fostering business growth, and strengthening ties within the Filipino-Canadian community. Distinguished guests and partner organizations were also present to show their support and celebrate the milestone.
This event reaffirmed the chamber’s role as a vital platform for networking, advocacy, and economic development for Filipino Canadians.
