Join the CENE community
Whether you're a founder, executive, investor, or professional — find your place in New England's premier Canadian business network. We're an active, engaged, interesting, and always fun group of executives, innovators, entrepreneurs, and founders passionate about giving back to Canada.
As a collective impact organization, our strength lies in the partnerships we build and the network we engage. CENE offers two options for membership:
Affiliate Member
Affiliate members are professionals working in the innovation ecosystem who are Canadian or have experience living/working in Canada and have significant professional influence and connections that can be shared throughout CENE's programs. Membership as an Affiliate member is $145 annually and includes invitations to CENE Affiliate events.
Sustaining Member
Sustaining members are champions of our organization, who can leverage their network to help us grow and have the resources necessary to make an impact.
The CENE Sustaining membership offers unique opportunities to connect through special annual Sustaining Member-only events. Past gatherings have included attending a baseball game at Fenway and a wine tasting at the home of Rodger Cuzner, the former Consul General of Canada in Boston.
Sustaining Members are featured on CENE’s Sustaining Member page and are recognized for their commitment to the CENE network and activities as we come together to help Canadian innovation succeed globally. The Sustaining membership is $495 annually.
