223 – Dating, cohabitating and marriage: Three stages of amalgamations

November 8, 2024
2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Fusing diverse housing organizations isn’t always love at first sight. Different working styles, legalities, and cultures make this a challenging affair. But true love conquers all, right? Together, we can create bigger, stronger, and more sustainable housing organizations.  

Join innovative and business-minded leaders, consultants and staff from three housing organizations as they take you along their three-step amalgamation journey: 

Dating 

  • How to start the conversation with your board and leadership teams 
  • How to prepare a risk assessment, workplan and budget for the merger process 
  • Moving in together 

Cohabitating: 

  • Anticipate and prepare for difficult discussions 
  • How to overcome obstacles and avoid a breakup  

Marriage (the happily ever after):  

  • Financial sustainability  
  • Improved outcomes for tenants  
  • Transformation of the workplace culture  
  • Celebrating the first-year anniversary 

Come learn, laugh, and fall in love with the process of amalgamation!
