As NCBA CLUSA celebrates 100 years of supporting cooperatives that build a better world, we’re thrilled to recognize the organizations that have made generous contributions in support of the 2016 Annual Cooperatives Conference, or Impact 2016.
Held during Co-op Week from May 2 – 4 in Washington, D.C., Impact 2016 is the only conference that speaks with a united, cross-sector voice to our elected officials about the issues critical to cooperatives in the U.S. Hosted at NCBA CLUSA’s new headquarters at 1775 Eye Street NW and the National Press Club, Impact 2016 also includes a full day of Congressional office visits on Capitol Hill. Other Co-op Week activities include the Annual Meeting of CooperationWorks! and the Cooperative Development Foundation’s Cooperative Issues Forum and Cooperative Hall of Fame Reception, Dinner and Induction Ceremony.
