While the unhyphenated word, “cooperative” mayhave several different meanings, a “co-operative” means onlythis: an association of folks united voluntarily to meet theircommon economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirationsthrough a jointly-owned and democratically-controlledenterprise.* That’s who we are. It’s odd how a little hyphencan link you to a national and international movement.*from the International Co-operative AllianceDeepak KhandelwalWendy KhuuHope KollyWayne KritzmanDanielle LafondSummer LewisThomas LussierJoyce MacDonaldRoxanne MagnusonRenie MarshIan McMillanSharyn McWilliamsOctavio Mejia-SuarezJenna MillerLynsey MillerGladys MinayaMichael MowryJessie MyszkaT.
