Reba Plummer

Director, representing the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation

Reba Plummer is a co-op champion and a bicycle enthusiast who lives in Toronto.

Reba is an advocate of the co-operative business model. Over the past two decades as Co-Executive Director at Urbane Cyclist Worker Co-op, Reba has worked hard to create good governance practises in her own co-op. Working at a worker co-op completely immerses one in the complex yet rewarding life of a co-op.

Reba was delegate to The Co-operators from 2011 to 2018. In 2018 she joined the Board and has served her three-year term as part of the Sustainability and Citizenship Committee.

Reba worked as the GTA Co-op Network Regional Manager from 2016 to 2018. She helped developing co-operatives connect with resources, spread the word about the co-op model, and helped to build relationships among existing co-ops.

Reba received her Certificate in Co-operative Management in 2010 through the Schulich School of Business and completed the Introduction to Co-op Development through CoopZone in 2016. Reba is an enthusiastic lifelong learner and continues with her education whenever possible.

When you can’t find Reba at Urbane Cyclist or at a co-op event it’s guaranteed that she is out riding her bike!
