Canadian American Business Council

The Canadian American Business Council (CABC) is a non-profit, non-partisan, issues-oriented business organization that provides the private sector's perspective in the Canada-U.S. relationship. The Council hosts roundtables with Canadian and U.S. politicians,[1][2] produces conferences,[3] and recognizes one outstanding businessperson each year with its Corporate Leadership Award.
