Co-operative Management Conference

Co-ops: This June, don’t miss this chance to invest in professional development and register your staff in the Co-operative Management Conference.

With over 30 workshops and networking events, the Co-operative Management Conference is the premier professional development opportunity for managers, co-ordinators, and staff of housing co-ops.

In 2010, CHF Canada will once again be offering an Introduction to Co-operative Housing Management in Ontario.

For co-op staff across Canada, CHF Canada is also working with the Institute of Housing Management to offer a course on Property and Building Administration.

Green Spot

This year both the Member Education Forum and the Co-operative Management Conference will be jointly offering something new — The Green Spot. On Thursday June 10 between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. all participants are invited to choose and attend one of ten workshops on sustainability issues — recycling, energy saving, environmental challenges, etc.
