CTIA NextGen Club

The CTIA NextGen Club is a leadership development and engagement initiative designed for emerging leaders within member companies. It exists to support the next generation of professionals who will help shape the future of Canada’s textile industry through a period of generational transition.

The Club fosters knowledge transfer between seasoned industry leaders and the next generation, while strengthening collaboration, innovation, and engagement on the industry’s key priorities.

Through regular meetings, mentorship opportunities, and peer exchanges, the NextGen Club creates a trusted space for building meaningful connections, sharing best practices, and growing leadership skills. It also encourages active participation in CTIA committees and public policy discussions.

By investing in emerging talent, preserving industry knowledge, modernizing practices, and deepening collaboration among member companies, the NextGen Club is helping to build a more connected, resilient, and future-ready Canadian textile industry.
