GTA Co-op Connections Conference, Un-conference & Networking Event March 7th 2015
A great event for GTA co-ops courtesy of the Ontario Co-operative Assocaition:
GTA Co-op Connections - Conference, Un-conference & Networking Event
9am-5pm, Saturday, March 7, 2015
Centre for Social Innovation, 720 Bathurst St., Toronto
Last October, representatives from more than 50 GTA co-operatives participated in roundtable discussions on how co-ops of all types might work together to better support one another and further advance the co-op alternative.
The discussions were lively, informative and inspiring – and the GTA Co-op Connections event on Saturday, March 7 is the result.
The Co-op Connections event will be:
1) A conference with featured presentations;
2) An “un-conference”, meaning part of the agenda will be set by participants in advance and on-site; and
3) A networking opportunity for leaders, innovators, staff and volunteers from all types of co-ops.
Participants will have numerous opportunities for learning, sharing, discussion and brainstorming. And we hope one or more people from your co-op, credit union or stakeholder organization can be part of this event.
The registration fee includes lunch and refreshments. We have an early bird registration rate before February 16, plus further discounts for two or more registrants from the same co-op or organization.
Please share this with fellow staff, directors, members and friends. Register as soon as possible to take advantage of these discounts.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to get in touch: gta@ontario.coop.
