The [Co-operative Management Education] programs gave me an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with hundreds of people who fill me with hope - a hope that in these difficult times, we might yet build a better economy and a better world to leave our children and grandchildren.
Marking 20 years since the start of our flagship Master of Management, Co-operatives and Credit Unions program is a significant achievement. On top of that, during my decade-plus with the Centre, I can see the impact of our work within the co-operative sector. We have built a global network of partners, meaningful involvement in key areas of research, and a wide spectrum of education opportunities for working professionals. Plus, we continue to innovate and adapt to meet the needs of co-operative enterprises of all sizes, types, sectors, and locations.
