Make time in your calendar for strategic conversation with other cooperators! The Co-op Cafe theme for 2018 is Expanding the Vision of "We" -- bring a bus or van full of people from all roles in your co-op to a Co-op Cafe for a focused conversation on the positive impact created by our co-ops and the diverse and widespread participation that produces that impact.
Who should attend: Directors, managers and staff - anyone you want to be in this conversation back home at your own co-op.
This series is sponsored by National Co+op Grocers (NCG), with additional support from National Cooperative Bank (NCB), and produced by the CDS Consulting Co-op as a series of regional events making it possible for cooperators, whatever their role or position, to come together with other cooperators to participate in a day of strategic conversation.

There is a modest fee per participant. $60 per person covers meals and incidentals. Bring eight or more people and we'll pay for one (eight can come for $420). More are welcome! Additional financial support may be available. Contact Thane Joyal for more information. Click here for logistics information for events.
