About this Seminar:

The second annual Co-op Roundtable is an invitational meeting for all lobster co-op managers, bookkeepers, members and other interested representatives involved in the operations of Maine fishing co-ops. The goal of this session is to have an informal discussion about a variety of topics and to form a supportive network across the state to support continuous communication. Topics of discussion may include but are not limited to: labor, bait, pricing, regulations, and facilities maintenance. Leading up to the Fishermen’s Forum, invitations will be sent to each co-op with an opportunity to share topics they are interested in covering. This is an open meeting for co-op members, managers, bookkeepers and staff, and other interested members of the public.

Host: Michelle Brown, Maine Fishermen’s Forum, Board of Directors

Moderator: Roxanne Tolman, Finance Manager Vinalhaven Fisherman’s Co-op
