Following recommendations by the Congress 2025 Association Taskforce, the Federation committed to supporting participating associations in finding a partner to collaborate on joint events.
The benefits of holding an event in collaboration with another association include:
- Diversifying your association conference’s programming;
- Attracting new members;
- Strengthening your application toward the Open Programming Fund by securing a secondary applicant;
- Benefiting from additional conference visibility via our Events Calendar.
If you would like to be connected with other associations that also wish to collaborate, please fill the optional survey below by December 2, 2024, so we may connect you with associations that have similar interests to yours.
Association collaboration survey
Please note, the survey will open in the default language of your internet browser (English/French). You can toggle the language using the button in the top-right corner.
In addition to this survey, this year, the Federation has increased its budget by 25% towards the Open Programming Fund to further support associations that organize joint sessions. Associations applying in 2025 can receive up to $5,000 for up to two (2) events as the primary applicant. Associations can be the secondary applicant on an unlimited number of submissions.
Our team has also added a document to the Resource page of the Organizers Portal where you can find the contact information for each Congress 2025 participating association.
Please reach out to membership@federationhss.ca if you have any questions!
Thank you,
Congress Member Support
