Benefits of Being a Member
We are proud to be part of a network of provincial co-op associations and councils across Canada that are linked through Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (CMC), our country’s national co-operative sector association. As members of the NLFC, our co-operatives and credit unions are subsequently a part of this national network that supports the growth and development of the co-operative sector across our province, our country, and the world.
We partner with the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, Atlantic Central, and The Co-operators to deliver services that contribute to the growth and success of our provincial co-op sector. These services include, but are not limited to:
- opportunities to connect with local co-ops, credit unions, sector organizations, government departments, and agencies.
- research and advisory support particularly in relation to project planning, government and public relations, and legislative compliance.
- access to workshops and training modules focusing on co-op basics, board roles and responsibilities, marketing, technology utilization, member retention, accounting practices, recruitment, and more.
Through our partnership with the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, we can help deliver Community Capacity Building workshops and trainings for members at any time, such as Conflict Resolution, Board Governance Training, Strategic Planning, and more.
