Coffee with Katie September Topic: Gift Ownership

Join Katie for a discussion on gift ownership best practices. Katie has decades of experience recruiting co-op owners. She'll share what has worked for her and you'll have a chance to share what has worked for you too! This is a FREE session open to all cooperators. Join us! Register TODAY!

Coffee with Katie is a virtual and FREE monthly networking and educational event hosted as a way for Katie to P6 (Co-ops helping Co-ops) some of the great information she has learned.

On September 22, we'll discuss the best practices related to gift ownership now that the holidays are just around the corner. Gift ownerships are a great way to expand your owner base during what is typically perceived as a slow time of year in the co-op world. They are also a great opportunity for co-op owners to share their love of the co-op with friends and family.

Come prepared with ideas to share with fellow cooperators about your success (or failure!) in gift ownership. After all, we learn just as much from failure as success.

See you on September 22 This session will be recorded and distributed to all who have registered. Feel free to invite other members of your co-op to attend!
