Description:

Technology is changing how housing co-ops work. Online banking, virtual and hybrid meetings, simple accounting and inspection software, and even AI learning are becoming everyday tools.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll look at what a “tech-savvy” co-op can look like. You’ll see how the right tools can make record-keeping easier, simplify banking, improve inspections, support member engagement, and strengthen education — while saving time and money.

We’ll also talk about what to think about before choosing new technology, including privacy, security, accessibility, cost, and how to manage change.

You’ll hear what other co-ops are doing, share your own experiences, and see some tools in action. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can use right away.
