Welcoming the New Board of Directors and Building Stronger Community Ties

The evening brought together a vibrant mix of GCBA members, guests, and business professionals in a warm and engaging setting. At the heart of the event was the official introduction of the new Board of Directors, each of whom brings valuable expertise and fresh energy to the association’s leadership.

We were pleased to introduce

– Andrea Basche – President
– Alexander Jecht – Vice-President
– Jens Schuster – Director of Business Development & Sponsorship
– Britt Lampe – Treasurer
– Kirsten Friedrichs – Director of Membership

Each board member took a moment to share their background, goals, and vision for the future of the GCBA. Their passion and dedication to supporting German-Canadian business relations and community building were evident throughout the evening.

We are proud to share that GCBA now has over 60 members, including many corporate members who contribute actively to our growing network. The energy at the event reflected this momentum.

In addition to meeting the new leadership team, we were excited to welcome a brand-new member who spontaneously signed up during the event. A true testament to the power of connection. We also had the pleasure of welcoming back a returning member, further strengthening our growing network.

A Warm Thank-You to Germanhaus

We extend our sincere gratitude to Maxim and Dmitry of Germanhaus for their exceptional hospitality. Their thoughtfully designed showroom on West 2nd Avenue provided the perfect ambiance for relaxed networking, professional conversations, and engaging introductions.
