Recently, ACCA hired a GR manager to help move the organization forward and address issues of importance to ACCA members and the cooperative movement.

Vicki Zinyk was recently elected to the position of Board Chair with the Alberta Community & Co-operative Association (ACCA) for a three-year term. She succeeds Randy Taylor, who stepped down after twelve years.

Looking forward to connecting with our membership at the annual general meeting - AGM 2021. To help provide some insight, we have prepared an impact report for your review.

ACCA stands ready to work with governments and values-driven organizations to strengthen existing co-ops and build new co-ops that improve services and leverage the collective strengths and know-how of Albertans. To move this work forward, ACCA wishes to enter a services contract with a qualified government relations practitioner.

To meet priorities identified by its members at the 2020 AGM, ACCA is actively working to scale up its government relations efforts. ACCA members are being asked to contribute to the process by April 12, 2021.
