WHAT IS THE LEADERS CIRCLE?
The Leaders Circle is comprised of like-minded individuals who
share a common commitment to the political objectives of the
Progressive Group for Independent Business (PGIB). Many demonstrate
their continued support for the aims and principles of the PGIB
through volunteer political work, as well as by making a significant
annual financial contribution to the PGIB.
The Leaders Circle provides a unique opportunity for involvement

the democratic political process, have an interest in public
policy and want to help build a better tomorrow for our city,
provinces and country.

corporations giving an annual minimum contribution of $500
to the PGIB either via membership, volunteer hours, donations
