NCBA CLUSA will once again host a dynamic, one-day version of one of Saint Mary’s top cooperative courses at the 2019 Co-op IMPACT Conference. “Excellence in Co-op Leadership and Management” will be held at NCBA CLUSA headquarters in Washington, DC on October 1.

This engaging course on excellence in cooperative leadership and management is relevant across all cooperative sectors and designed for seasoned decision-makers and emerging leaders alike.

Offered by Saint Mary’s University and hosted by NCBA CLUSA, the course is participatory and interactive. During this course, you’ll:

• Discuss and debate the cooperative business model and why it matters
• Grapple with the significant challenges inherent in leading and managing cooperatives
• Learn from what others are doing to recognize and avoid threats and risks to the model.
