For the past 40 years, the Directors' Forum Co-operative (DFC) has recognized, promoted, and supported the unique role of Board Directors through the provision of education, professional development and networking opportunities. 

Our programming includes a Virtual Governance Series and an Annual (hybrid) Conference, where guest speakers from within and outside of the system are invited to share their knowledge and expertise on topics of relevance to directors. We also recognize long-serving directors, and offer bursaries for young directors to attend the conference free-of -charge. 

Since 2022, the DFC expanded beyond the credit union system to include directors from mutuals and non-financial co-operatives. We also began inviting directors to become individual members of the co-operative; for a one-time, lifetime membership fee of $2, individuals can join the co-op!
