New Canaan Society

Until 2007, the history of NCS New Canaan is the history of the New Canaan Society, because until 2007 we were NCS. As the “founding chapter” of NCS, we began in 1995 as a gathering of just three men in the family room of Jim’s house. It grew organically to about 50 to 60 by 2000 and called itself “The Men’s Friday Group”. In 2001, the “New Canaan Society” was officially organized, and as it grew, we began inviting outside speakers to share life with us. The speakers were impressive, occasionally well-known figures in the business, political and academic landscape, but the message remained consistent – “This is what I want to share with you from my own life.”
