Testimonials
We know it was great, but don't just take our word for it! Here's what some participants had to say:
"I’ve worked for a Credit Union for almost 7 years and never knew anything about Co-Ops. I think everyone that works for a Co-Op should attend this workshop."
"I loved the various interactive presentation styles. The engagement really helps to support different learning preferences."
"Co-ops have to be imbedded in our psyche early on"
I really enjoyed learning about how cooperatives in different industries than mine think about their members and business. I also really enjoyed the interactivity of the workshop from the game shows to the "creating a co-op" activity"
