CCMA Conference

The Consumer Cooperative Management Association Conference is the annual meeting and educational forum of the food cooperative community. It is held over three days in the first half of June in a different location every year.

The CCMA Annual Conference is also the major fundraising venue for the Bowers Fund. Silent auction items are contributed by food co-ops and individuals around the country. For more information on CCMA (Consumer Cooperative Management Association), click HERE.

The Bowers Fund strengthens the food co-op sector by providing grants and scholarships for training and education for food co-op managers, staff, and board members. About 20 attendees annually to the CCMA Conference have received scholarships from the Bowers Fund.
