Minnesota Cooperative Summit: Cooperatively Building a Better World

Join CoMinnesotaMinnesota Farmers Union, University of Minnesota Morris and West Central Initiative from July 29-30 at the University of Minnesota, Morris for the first annual Minnesota Cooperative Summit.

Co-ops have the power to build a better world that includes everyone. Co-ops have been and will continue to be key for economic development in Minnesota, from succession planning to incorporating marginalized groups to solving challenges that cannot be done alone.

During the first annual Minnesota Cooperative Summit, we’ll:

  • Celebrate the International Year of Cooperatives
  • Learn about the power and versatility of the cooperative model
  • Engage in Minnesota’s rich history of cooperation to do better together
  • Gain inspiration from creative co-op success stories

This event welcomes current cooperatives and cooperators exploring collaboration, but is designed to inspire those newer to cooperatives who could learn about and incorporate cooperative strategies to meet the economic and social needs of our state in the years to come. We aim to spark cooperation across the state in the spirit of the International Year of Cooperatives.
