This is one of two morning session options for the Spring 2025 In-Person Education Event on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The other option in this time slot is Getting our co-op principles right. The afternoon workshops are Bullying – how to recognize, work with and protect against it and Working together to plan for success.

Fee: Registration for the full-day Education Event is $130 per person for the first two participants. Any additional people who register from your co-op will receive a 50% discount.

The fee covers a choice of two workshops (one morning session and one afternoon session), as well as pastries and coffee or tea in the morning, two breaks and a hot lunch.

We have very limited space for this event and we expect it to sell out. Register today!

Facilitator: Mary Ann Hannant

Summary

Summary: The membership committee’s job is one of the most important ones in a co-op. The committee members are often the first members that applicants come in contact with. In this workshop we will

  • discuss what makes a good member selection process,
  • review the impact of the Human Rights Code, and
  • discuss techniques for interviewing.
