CWCF Hosts Successful Conference

Thanks to the more than 50 participants who made this year's CWCF Conference a resounding success. Special thanks as well to outgoing board members Evan Proven (Prairies Region) and Leslie Brown (Atlantic Region) for their many contributions that strengthened the Federation, and congratulations and welcome to our newly elected Board Members, Morteza Amiri of the Expertise Hub Co-op (Atlantic Region) and co-op developer Marty Meyer (Prairies Region). Finally, a huge thank you to our primary sponsors, Co-operators and Vancity and all our community and other sponsors, without whom this conference would not have been possible. The slide decks from the conference presentations that we have are available here with the rest that are available to come shortly. Watch for a special post-Conference newsletter in early to mid-December.
