On October 7, the ACCA partnered with Village Wellth to present a webinar which explained how selling a business to employees, a co-operative, or other community entity creates benefits to both business owners and communities

ACCESS is a shared service non-profit co-operative specifically formed to provide administrative back-office support for civil society organizations. It is an innovative, collaborative solution that fills service gaps and increases efficiencies, allowing co-operatives and non-profits to focus on what they do best.

The ACCA team continues to work hard on behalf of our members and the Alberta Coop sector.

The ACCA is proud to partner with our provincial cousins the BC Co-op Association to present “Data in Agriculture” on Wednesday, October 20 from 3:30-4:45 pm (2:30-3:30 PST).

These resources will help you develop and operate successful multi-unit co-op housing by providing details on what themes are required for an effective co-op, strategies to implement them, and financial strategies to meet the financial goals of your housing co-op.

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

Randy Taylor has retired after 12 years on the ACCA board, including ten years as chair. Members, board and staff, have been significantly impacted by his dedicated service and thank him for his leadership and time.

After connecting with ACCA Youth Leadership Program volunteer leaders and listening to their stories the pressure was on to somehow pack all the laughter, words and smiles into an article. One could write about the beautiful setting of the program, or the delicious food, but it’s much more than that. It’s the total package.
