This year’s National Home Care Cooperative Conference theme is “Cooperative Ownership – United in Purpose.” The conference will focus on cooperative ownership and the incredible power that comes from working together towards a common purpose.
This year, all sessions will highlight the important roles and responsibilities each cooperative member plays in achieving success, whether the work concerns governance, marketing and financial management, member relations, and more. We’ll share tools and resources to improve work within the home care cooperative sector, learning from each other and from our speakers. We’ll also showcase how cooperation among cooperatives amplifies our collective impact.
