Re-imagining cooperation.
Imagination matters to cooperatives. What might be the best for the current generation of cooperatives may not be suited for the generations to come or to the circumstances that we’ll see in 5 or 10 years. Imagination is what allows us to anticipate how our members will change, how our communities will change, how our cooperatives will change. Imagination is what allows us to keep up; imagination is what will allow us our cooperatives to create what comes next.
