Network weaving and movement building: As we aim to build a co-op movement, it’s important that we identify and celebrate the deep connections our community has, as well as imagine how to grow our community.  We’ll engage in some interactive activities to help us do just that. 
State of PACA: Jamila Medley, PACA’s executive director, will provide information about PACA’s activities during the year and a vision for what’s coming up in 2019.
Member Voices: PACA co-op members will share stories and reflections on their work over the last year.
  
Co-op Awards: Who will receive the Co-op of the Year and Cooperator of the Year awards?  Join us to find out!  Nominations are being accepted through October 23rd.  Check out who we’ve celebrated in the past. 
Board Election: Each year, PACA’s member co-ops participate in a process to democratically elect new members to serve on PACA’s board.  Take a look at this year’s nominees.
