Workshop Details

Membership intake plays an integral role in the health and stability of our co-operative communities. Whether using a centralized list or not, there are considerations and processes to follow when interviewing applicants and integrating new members.

Join sector experts and the Region of Waterloo to discuss how co-op member intake works with the centralized wait lists.
