Hiya, Justin, BA, & Alex -

I'm excited to share with you a new one-day educational opportunity from the International Centre for Co-operative Management. If you are planning to attend the NCBA CLUSA Cooperative IMPACT Conference in Washington, DC this fall, you'll want to take a look at this and/or share it with colleagues. (You can also register for only this one-day program, though of course we'd encourage you to attend all the events of the week, if possible.) 

Power and Purpose of Intercooperation: Building complex networks and co-operative economies

Join the International Centre for Co-operative Management on October 1 from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm in Arlington, Virginia for the pre-conference short course offered in conjunction with NCBA CLUSA Cooperative IMPACT Conference.

With the United Nations declaring 2025 an International Year of Co-operatives, the timing is right to spotlight the power and potential of co-operatives working together to build complex networks and co-operative economies that deliver well-being for all.

Join us for this engaging short course on intercooperation as we explore practical strategies big and small that create tangible value for your co-operative while reinforcing the co-operative ecosystem.

As an attendee, you will:

• Consider how you articulate your own co-operative sector within the context of others to build a greater understanding of our collective potential.  
• Gain an understanding of complex networks and their role in building co-operative economies at the conceptual, systems, and applied levels.
• Learn about specific examples of intercooperation, complex networks, and co-operative economies.
• Gain deepened appreciation for the potential that intercooperation creates to build more robust, sustainable, and inclusive co-operative economies.
• Benefit whether you are new to co-operatives or an experienced co-operative professional.
• Expand your network of co-operative colleagues across co-op types and sectors.

Course fees: $320 USD
