Co-operatives in the Americas: Driving Economic Growth with Equity and Inclusion

“Cooperatives in the Americas: Driving Economic Growth with Equity and Inclusion”  is a cooperative event focused on the robust cooperative movement within the Americas and co-hosted by NCBA CLUSA, the Organization of American States, the U.S. Permanent Mission to the OAS, and Cooperatives Americas—A Region of the International Cooperative Alliance.

This one-day event will bring together cooperative leaders from our hemisphere to discuss key issues and opportunities facing the cooperative sectors and the movement as a whole. Panel discussion and dialogues will invite audience participation on such topics as the capacity for growth and social inclusion among co-operatives; the cooperative edge for competing in the global economy; the challenges and barriers currently facing the cooperative community; and next steps for promoting a cooperative decade in the Americas. Our own board members Howard Brodsky, Martin Lowery, and Chuck Snyder will all be on the program.
