Dear Cooperative Colleagues,
A very difficult spring has turned to an uncertain summer as we all manage the economic, social and political impacts of COVID-19 and the racial unrest in our country. These are difficult times. We have all been forced to develop new means of communication, business management and political advocacy. It is a challenge to operate without in-person meetings, events or conferences, and to face such uncertainty.
Cooperative Network is committed to helping our members through these challenges. We continue to engage with government and business leaders on the state and federal levels. This evolving situation requires constant communication with those developing the policies and programs which will shape our future.
Please review the information in Capitol Connection closely, visit this COVID-19 Resources page and read our blog for updates. In addition, we are kicking off a new eLearning series that will include bi-monthly webinars, focused on important subjects in this volatile time. You can find details here. We hope you can join.
We will come through these difficulties together in the spirit of cooperatives. Please reach out to us for any assistance or information you may need.
Thank you.
Dan
