International Year of Cooperatives 2012

“The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives, highlighting the contribution of cooperatives to socio-economic development, in particular recognizing their impact on poverty reduction, employment generation and social integration.”  More on the International Year of Cooperatives >

The U.S. Senate is on record recognizing 2012 as International Year of the Cooperatives, and many conferences and other events will call attention to cooperatives next year. We expect to complete Shift Change in time to screen at such events and appear on television to widen and deepen the discussions of how cooperatives can help restore economic stability and social equity.
