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.

ACCESS, a co-operative, shared-services platform brings the opportunity to strengthen Alberta co-ops and nonprofits. Once launched, ACCESS will provide co-ops and nonprofits with a pool of co-aligned qualified professional support without the need for a long-term or full-time commitment.

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.

The Community and Co-operative Counsel was established to provide co-aligned legal support and consulting services for co-operative and nonprofit communities.

On May 28, 2021, plan to attend ACCA AGM, exercise your vote and support the board & staff!

Gain valuable insight into ACCA's past year’s performance, strategies and outlook going forward, with a heavy emphasis on identifying our member co-operatives government relations goals.

The quarterly report is one more communication tool we have implemented to help keep our members informed about the latest accomplishments and upcoming efforts. Please download and share the PDF with your co-op members, board, and associates.
