Workshop Details
Every one of us has asked these questions: “Why are so few members involved in running our co-op?” “Why is it always the same small group of people who do everything?” and “Am I the only one who understands how important it is to build our community”?
There is good news and new ideas. Join two of our most experienced educators, who will share tried-and-true engagement methods that will energize your members and provide new perspectives on these age-old questions. In-person only.
Carine Nind
Carine has been the general manager at Willowside Housing Co-operative for 20 years, and has been an outspoken advocate for co-op housing and initiatives to reduce experiences of homelessness.
Sarah Burnett Murray
Sarah holds several post-secondary diplomas and degrees, and is a published author and poet. She has been involved in Co-op housing for as long as she can remember. She firmly believes in fostering the sharing of knowledge and community support within the sector which is what inspired her to become increasingly involved in 2013.
