This year the theme is
 “Co-ops, Owned by Our Members, Committed
to Our Communities.”


For the 74th time, the nation’s 40,000 cooperatives will be celebrating National Cooperative Month in
October. The celebration gives co-ops a chance to share with the rest of the
world what co-op members know: that user-owned and user-governed businesses are made to order for meeting a multitude of needs.
