Agenda
Registration
Let your cooperative know you’d like to attend. Cooperatives are asked to register all of their participants. Registration is needed by November 3, 2026 so we have accurate counts for the hotel for room set-up and meals. The registration fee is $60 per person for members. Use the two buttons at the bottom of this page to register. One is for our local co-op members and is a combined form to register for our Nov 18th Annual Meeting and/or our Nov 19th Director/Manager Workshop.
