SUMMARY:Great Lakes Alliance of Cooperatives – Fall Retreat 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hello fellow co-opers; \nThis event’s standard registration is now closed to make grocery shopping for our guests possible! \nIf you still want to come to the event\, text 269-910-4574 and we can see what kind of accommodations we can make quickly! \nSchedule:\n~5-8 arrival – Snacks\, conversation and big ideas while you get yourselves all settled.

We are constructing a working group who will use chores and work projects around CPC to test our communication skills and expectation formation while working collaboration with other “like-minded” people who certainly approach things differently from ourselves.\n5:30-6:30 Room for emergent programming\n6:30-7:30 dinner and chores\n8 ~ Updates and Conversation Centering Advocacy for Co-operative Development Center with Maggie O’Connar\nEvening – more convening and relaxation\n7:30 another little walk about\n9-10 breakfast and chores\n10:15 ~ 12:15 – “The Guy” with Rowan Price\nWho is The Guy? Does your co-op have one? Join us to learn what happens when a co-op comes to depend entirely on one person for their skills or energy or time\, what happens when that person inevitably burns out\, and what we can do to better share responsibility and power in our organizations!\n12:15-1:15 free associations and follow up\n1:15-2:15 lunch and chores\n2:15 ~ done – start organizing for the next one in the spring
