Become a Conference Sponsor

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

Please complete this form (coming soon) and email it to: info@cccd.coop or mail it to CCCD at 979 F Street, Suite A, Davis, CA 95616 or call us at 530-297-1032 to make your commitment by phone. Additionally, please make checks payable to the California Center for Cooperative Development.
CCCD is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit. Donations can be tax-deductible.
