6th Annual MA ROC-A-Thon

The 6th Annual MA ROC-A-Thon is the premier resident owned community (ROC) event in Massachusetts. This one-day event will bring together ROC leaders from across the state to network with one another, and take workshops on strengthening their communities.  This year MA ROC-A-Thon participants will have the opportunity engage with Dan Less from the MA Attorney General’s Office and Chris Jee from the MA Department of Housing and Community Development. There are also great workshops tackling critical topics ranging from planning for future community investment and development, accessing financial sustainability, and how a community can make more money.

We will also celebrate and welcome the newest resident owned communities to the Massachusetts ROC family.

We look forward to seeing you on:
