During the week of June 8th, several Board members attended the virtual Consumer Cooperative Management Association (CCMA) conference. Jacqueline Arthur, General Manager of Three Rivers Market, presented in a session titled “Successful Food Co-ops: Thriving in a Post-COVID World.” Other topics covered during the conference were e-commerce, responding to an economic downturn, adaptive governance, and diversity and inclusion.
