The 2017 Consumer Cooperative Management Association (CCMA) Conference is just a month away, and deadlines to make hotel reservations and register for the event are fast approaching.

The Crowne Plaza Minneapolis Northstar Downtown—a short two-block walk from the Radisson, where the conference will take place—is now available at the rate of $139 per night for a single or double room. Make your reservations by May 18, 2017 to lock in this price online or by calling (800) 556-7827 and requesting the CCMA room block. Please note that the conference hotel, the Radisson Blu, is sold out.

The deadline to register for CCMA 2017 is May 31, 2017. Don’t miss out on the tours, breakout sessions, keynote speakers and networking opportunities with your food co-op peers. Register online now.

This year’s conference theme, “Our North Star: Cooperate to Differentiate,” is inspired by Minnesota’s state motto, L’etoile du Nord, or “Star of the North.” Throughout history, the North Star has been a symbol of guidance, dependability and reassurance. Similarly, food cooperatives rely on the principles of cooperation for guidance in an ever-changing world. 

As food co-ops are challenged by increased market competition, shrinking margins and rising costs, leaders of the food co-op sector are challenged to demonstrate our commitment to the values that differentiate us. As cooperatives, we are committed to building vibrant, inclusive communities and a healthier planet.

CCMA 2017 is hosted by the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives and these Twin Cities area food cooperatives.
