Taco Tuesdays
WiLS Taco (Talking About Coop Opportunities) Tuesdays are free and virtual webinars served in bite-sized pieces so our members can learn about the valuable products and services being offered by our vendor partners. Based on feedback from our members, we understand that there is precious little time to devote to exploring new products or resources. Each month (and sometimes twice!), we present a series of 10-15 minute presentations by a select few vendor partners with time for questions and answers following. Each segment is scheduled to allow for participants to drop in and out as they need and each segment is recorded and shared to allow those who couldn’t attend at all to get the information they need. See below for specific vendors presenting and registration details for upcoming Taco Tuesdays.
If you have a suggestion for a product or vendor to invite to an upcoming Taco Tuesday, let us know at coop@wils.org.
