The U.S. Overseas Cooperative Development Council (OCDC) is teaming up with NCBA CLUSA and Cooperatives of the Americas to co-host a post-IMPACT webinar on Wednesday, December 11 from 10-11:15 am EST called “Cooperative Advocacy – Everyone Has a Role.”
Following on the success of the International Track at the 2024 Cooperative IMPACT Conference, and with the 2025 International Year of Cooperatives just over a month away, now is the time to build momentum toward a more cooperative tomorrow. During this webinar, we’ll fuel a global awareness of advocacy to lift up the people-centered businesses at the heart of our communities and economies.
Cooperative advocacy includes all of us to keep the cooperative momentum growing. Each country and sector face different challenges. How can primary and second-tier cooperatives advocate for cooperatives? How are national advocacy movements advancing the cooperative movement? This session will include speakers on cooperative advocacy strategies at the national level and explore how cooperatives can support their own advocacy.
This webinar will be available in English and Spanish.
