Become a Conference Sponsor

California Cooperative Conference Sponsorship Form

The California Co-op Conference is the only statewide conference that brings together co-ops from different sectors to share and learn from one another. Cooperatives are a vital tool for creating worker-owned businesses, food cooperatives that promote food security and linkages with local producers, and promoting affordable home ownership and childcare.

Convened by the California Center for Cooperative Development (CCCD), a charitable non-profit, Conference Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to support co-op education and showcase your organization’s commitment to a democratic business model that promotes local economic development, equity, and community.

Conference sponsorship will:

• Make your organization known as an innovative leader and supporter of cooperative enterprises
• Allow for Networking and communication directly with clientele in an engaging atmosphere
• Impact your community by promoting a business model that embodies triple bottom line economics
