Potential Partners in Business
The Corporate Division forms the foundation for economic development efforts in Membertou. With a commitment to meeting the opportunities and challenges of a globalized world, it was instrumental in instilling a corporate mindset for Membertou through its attainment of ISO 9000: 2001 certification. This move was fundamental to achieving Membertou's goal of successful engagement of the corporate world though strategic joint venturing initiatives.
