The benefits of joining APERM fall into three main categories:
Networking & Community:
Access to Professional Mixers (informal social events).
Connection with established Romanian professionals and entrepreneurs in Montreal.
Inclusion in the Member Business Directory (if consented, per the form structure).
Professional Development & Resources:
Access to Knowledge Workshops on topics vital to Quebec business (e.g., grants, law, taxation).
Access to the website's Resources section, including useful external links and a potential Job/Talent Board.
Influence & Governance:
The right to vote in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and participate in the election of the Board of Directors.
A voice in advocating for the Romanian business community in the Greater Montreal Area.
No. The association is planned to be incorporated as a non-profit organization (likely under the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act or a similar Quebec act). Its primary goal is to serve its membership and community, not to distribute profits to its members or directors. All revenue (dues, sponsorships) is used to fund events, resources, and administrative costs.
The membership structure, as outlined in the form, is designed to accommodate various professional levels and entities:
Individual Members:
Professional Member: General members working in various industries.
Entrepreneur Member: Individuals who are owners or founders of businesses.
Student Member: Individuals enrolled in post-secondary education (requires proof of enrollment).
Organizational Members:
Corporate Member: For established businesses or organizations seeking to support and access the network.
Since APERM is a non-profit association, you cannot "invest" in the traditional sense of buying equity. Your contribution is made through:
Membership Dues: Paying the annual or two-year fee is the primary way to financially support the association's operations.
Sponsorship: Companies or individuals can invest in APERM by becoming corporate members or sponsoring specific events (Mixers, Workshops, or the Annual Gala).
Volunteering: Contributing time, expertise, and leadership on committees or the Board of Directors.
