In Person CCMA 2020 has been cancelled, goes virtual!
After many weeks of monitoring the evolving situation around COVID-19, including guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, it is with great regret that we announce the unavoidable cancellation of this year’s CCCMA conference, which we had planned to hold in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on June 4-6. More details about the cancellation can be found here.
UW Center for Cooperatives staff and the CCMA Planning Committee are exploring the possibility of making some of CCMA 2020 content available online. Please complete a brief survey to share your thoughts on content and level of interest in participating.
Please note that tickets for the Co-op Tours are available as an a la carte selection and are not included in the conference registration fees. More information on this change here.

Co-op Tours are Separate? Why?
Our co-ops hosts work hard to develop thoughtful tours to show off their co-op and community. In order to better gauge participation and align bus needs appropriately, we ask that participants interested in the Co-op Tours register separately. Unfortunately, the co-op tours will not be developed until closer to the conference, so it is a leap of faith! We know that Sioux Falls has much to offer and we trust that our co-op hosts will show us her gems!
PAYMENT METHODS
All registration fees must be paid in advance. Payments can be made by:
- Credit Card: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Diners or American Express are all accepted
