As the Neighboring Food Co-op Association celebrates our Seventh Annual Meeting coming up in March, we are looking forward to welcoming Doug O’Brien, President & CEO of the National Cooperative Business Association, CLUSA International, as our keynote, speaking on the theme of “Building an Inclusive Economy: The Co-operative Difference.” Doug will share his thoughts on the potential for the co-operative movement to be leaders in growing a more inclusive economy as part of an inspiring day of peer networking, workshops and presentations designed to support the shared success of our Member Food Co-ops and Start-Ups.
The Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA) is a federation of over 35 food co-ops and start-up initiatives across New England and New York that are working together toward a shared vision of a thriving co-operative economy, rooted in a healthy, just and sustainable food system and a vibrant community of co-operative enterprise.
