Program
Future Cooperative Leaders Program
As part of the International Summit of Cooperatives, more than 230 cooperators between the ages of 20 and 35 will travel from all over the world to participate in the Future Cooperative Leaders Program.
These future cooperative leaders, who are active in their coops as employees or elected officers, all share a common passion: the desire to promote and advance the cooperative model in their respective countries.
From October 8 to 11, 2012 in Quebec City, they will have the opportunity to expand their peer network and meet influential players in the cooperative world, who will be a source of inspiration and knowledge to help them in their professional and personal lives.
This program is open to all cooperative organizations around the world.
Do you fit the profile of a future cooperative leader? There are still a few open spots. For more information, contact Stéphanie Guico at stephanie.guico@sommetinter2012.coop.
