As cooperators across the U.S. and around the world enter the sixth month of a global pandemic, it’s time to reevaluate the new normal. How are cooperatives adapting in the face of shifting priorities, and how will co-op businesses—and entire sectors—look different in the future?

Join NCBA CLUSA on Thursday, August 20 at 3 p.m. for a webinar hosted by the Council of Cooperative Economists (CCE) with support from CCE sponsors CoBank and Nationwide. “Six Months into COVID-19, Taking the Pulse of the Cooperative Economy” will explore how the economic dynamics of the pandemic have impacted co-ops across all sectors.
