Big co-ops face unique issues. Can we look to other big co-ops for help? This workshop is designed to create conversations between the leadership of larger cooperatives to address common board-level challenges while also building a stronger cooperative network. We will meet co-op leaders from around the country, learn about our peer organizations, and have focus groups in which participants brainstorm problem-solving suggestions for their neighbors. We hope to start conversations - and build organizational relationships - that continue through both Institute and years to come.
