Discounts for smaller co-ops
If your co-op has 50 units or fewer, there are ways we can help make your Annual Meeting more affordable.
Registration: We know that small co-ops have to spread the registration fee over fewer units. To help out, we’re giving a 25% discount on the delegate registration category only for small co-ops (1-50 units).
Travel pool: Co-ops that pay more than $800 for their delegates’ airfare to the Annual Meeting can get money back from the pool.
- Delegates from co-ops with 25 units or less will not pay more than $325.
- Co-ops with 26 to 50 units are refunded the difference between $800 and the cost of an economy ticket or actual cost (whichever is less).
- Co-ops with more than 50 units that pay more than $800 will get half of the difference between $800 and the cost of an economy ticket.
