Greetings Members,

We have been working diligently on developing the NLFC’s Member Value program over the last couple of months and are thrilled to finally be able to announce some of the new additions to this program!

We are excited to let you know that we have partnered with PAL Airlines to offer you considerable savings on all Corporate PAL Airlines/Air Borealis flights and are in the process of establishing a “shop local, live local” network to allow you to take advantage of more amazing deals while supporting our local NL economy. Please see the NLFC Member Value Program section below for more details. 
 
We are also putting together a Member Engagement Summit for the end of June. The summit will include learning sessions on various topics, from board governance to marketing, and will give us all a chance to network. The Member Engagement Summit section below has more info about this exciting opportunity. 

As always, I would love to hear from you personally! If you have any questions about anything we are working on, or if you have an idea you want to discuss, we are always here for you!


Cooperatively yours,

Dave Walsh
Managing Director, NLFC

PRE BUDGET CONSULTATION SUBMISSION
a collaborative effort on behalf of the co-operative sector

Last month we reached out to you requesting ideas for the provincial government pre-budget consultation. We are pleased to announce that we have submitted a very detailed and thorough document to government that included all of your suggestions about how the co-op model and co-op thinking could help get the province out of it's current fiscal situation. We sincerely thank every single one of you for taking the time to submit your incredibly well thought out entries; there are many innovative ideas contained within the document that we are extremely excited about. If you would like to receive a copy of our submission for your own review, please do not hesitate to reach out to Faith and let her know. 

NLFC MEMBER ENGAGEMENT SUMMIT
a day of learning, networking, and co-operation

Have you been saying you'd like to learn more about co-op governance, or perhaps effective marketing strategies to help attract more members? Or, maybe you've been wondering how to utilize technology to make your day-to-day operations run more smoothly? Perhaps you're curious about how other co-ops are navigating the complicated waters of the COVID19 pandemic? If either, or all, of these sound like you... you really should send us an email to let us know that you are interested in attending our event, either virtually or in person. Your expression of interest now will aid us in planning the best event possible. 

Oh! And here is the best part; everyone, in person or virtually, is eligible to receive a Technology Upgrade/Implementation Grant* valued at $400.00, just for taking part!

We understand that times have been difficult lately, and that finances can be precarious. We are happy to explore expense-sharing options if you would like to attend in person** but are unable to afford the trip to Gander, you just have to reach out and let us know. The event will also be broadcast virtually, if you feel more comfortable attending from the comfort of your home, we welcome that as well! 

*grants can only be dispersed to NLFC members, limit of 1 per co-op
**all current COVID19 guidelines, protocols, and public health measures will be observed
