P01Your principles, integrity and ethics: Your reputation as a professional co-op managerProfessional development
As a co-op manager, you do values-based work. That means you are in a position of trust, and co-op members count on you to do what’s best for the co-op. They rely on your principles, integrity and ethics. But your work as a manager doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The best interests of the co-op compete with lots of other interests.
Join other co-op managers and spend the day talking about what being a professional means and how to choose a path in a difficult situation.
