Co-operative Management Conference

Workshops for co-op managers and staff 

The Co-operative Management Conference (CMC) is the premier professional development event for housing co-op managers, coordinators and staff in Canada. 

For two days, you and fellow managers and staff will gather to learn, exchange and network – all to help you build the skills and knowledge to successfully manage a co-op. Choose from a selection of workshops designed to meet the management needs of co-ops in today’s context, and take advantage of inspiring plenaries and other events to round out your experience. 

To meet all your professional management needs, the CMC workshop program offers four dynamic learning streams: 

• Professional development 

• Member relations 

• Buildings 

• Finance 

The CMC workshop program is very popular. To avoid disappointment, make sure to complete your workshop selection when you register. 

Please note: Members of housing co-ops are not able to participate in the CMC events or workshops. Members are invited to participate in the Member Education Forum (MEF).
