UN Announces 2012 International Year of Co-operatives
Canada's co-operative sector is celebrating a recent decision by the United Nations General Assembly to proclaim 2012 the International Year of Co-operatives. http://tinyurl.com/InternationalYear. Since 1959, the UN has designated International Years in order to draw attention to major issues and to encourage international action to address concerns which have global importance. "At a time when so many people around the world have a heightened interest in doing business with organizations whose values reflect their own, raising awareness of co-operatives and what they stand for is very important," said Kathy Bardswick, president and CEO of The Co-operators, who was recently elected to represent Canada on the board of the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA). Congratulations to Successful ICP Projects
