The Cultivating Cooperative Roots conference will take place in Spokane, Washington, Friday through Sunday, February 5-7, 2016. We are pleased to announce that we will be opening a select number of talks, workshops, and events up to the public. We are gathering community members, policy makers, cooperatives, and local businesses in order to:

1. Strengthen economic systems by developing cooperative business skills to support successful ventures
2. Create strategic alliances and strengthen relationships between cooperatives
3. Raise awareness about the importance of access to local foods
4. Celebrate successful examples and learn from other cooperatives

We hope that you join us for what is sure to be a fun and infmorative weekend!
