The Association of Cooperative Educators (ACE) is hosting its 2021 Annual Institute soon! The theme of this year is: Risk & Rebuilding in Co-operation. The event will take place virtually from June 22 to 24, 2021. In an effort to acknowledge the difficulties related to funding gaps this year has brought, our 2021 ACE Institute will be complimentary, with a 2021 ACE Membership.
Our organization:
The Association of Cooperative Educators (www.ace.coop), founded in 1952, is an international non-profit organization that has for its mission to strengthen cooperatives and the cooperative movement by promoting innovative educational responses to social and economic changes. ACE provides its members a forum to highlight programs and practices that increase understanding, innovation and professionalism in cooperative education. ACE has members all across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
ACE benefits cooperative education and the cooperative movement by:
- Promoting cooperative research;
- Developing linkages between universities, cooperatives and supporting organizations;
- Building capacity to support the development of innovation and acumen in cooperatives;
- Spreading the word by providing resources on cooperative education.
About the Institute:
The annual ACE Institute is the only annual conference in North America dedicated solely to the promotion of cooperative education and to the training of all cooperators (educators, leaders, developers, learners, etc.). It is a unique learning and professional development opportunity for cooperators from all cooperative sectors and across national boundaries.
