Year in Review

We are pleased to present the 2023 Cooperative Network Year in Review, which demonstrates our commitment to our members. The challenges of the past year have made it evident that there is no substitute for cooperative representation during a crisis, as well as throughout more normal times. Cooperative Network has worked diligently over the past year to ensure the voice of cooperatives regarding government assistance, regulations, and economic programs and policies is heard.
