Member-Managed Co-ops – Round Table National April 22, 2023 Register
1:00-2:00pm EST
Registration in advance is required
We would like to invite you to participate in a virtual event for board members and general members of self-managed co-ops. Self-managed or member-managed co-ops are those housing co-ops that do not contract with a management company or employ a staff person to provide management services.
In response to the resolution adopted at the CHF Canada AGM in 2021, we are happy to offer an opportunity to connect with member-managed co-ops and provide an opportunity to exchange with other housing co-ops like yours.
The Co-operative Principles are a set of special ethical values that apply to co-operatives in both their governance and management tasks. Join us to discuss what member managed co-ops can do to ensure they are following these important guidelines, and talk to other member managed co-ops about what they do to practice them in their everyday.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
