This is one of two afternoon session options for the Fall 2026 In-Person Education Program on Saturday, November 21, 2026. The other option in this time slot is Financing capital improvements. The morning workshops are Building community, one event at a time and Capital repair planning.

Fee: If your co-op is a member of CHFT, PHCHF or your local federation (or CHF Canada if there is no local federation), registration for the Education Event is $110 per person.

Your registration 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. Registration will close at 9:00 AM two days before the in-person education event. Register today!

Panelists: Kiel Ardal and Michael Hackl
