Keystone Development Center and National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA International/Cooperative Development Foundation co-hosted the first EVER MidAtlantic Co-operative Policy Roundtable in Harrisburg, PA at the PA Rural Electric Association on April 1st.
Attendees were some of the leading cooperators in our region, representing a diverse set of cooperative sectors from Ag to housing, and worker to urban! Equally impressive was the representation from state and federal public officials.
Cooperatively and collaboratively, they all participated in dynamic conversations around what co-ops need to thrive and become and remain sustainable, and what barriers prevent that from happening!
We would like to thank the following public officials for sending members from their office to attend:
U.S. Senator Bob Casey
U.S. Representative Chrissy Houlahan
Thank you to KDC's first Executive Director, Cheryl Cook who is the current Deputy Secretary at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture! Your engagement was invaluable!
Thank you all for attending!
