ACE Institute: Fostering Coop Innovation

About the Institute

The Association of Cooperative Educators (ACE) is pleased to invite you to its 2018 Annual Institute “Fostering Coop Innovation”!

The Annual 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 opportunity for 100-120 cooperators from all cooperative sectors and across national boundaries.
