Re: Cooperative Builder Awards

Each year, we honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions at the local, state, and/or national level to advance cooperative philosophy and ideals. Cooperative Network has one award program for Minnesota and Wisconsin cooperators. The Cooperative Network Cooperative Builder Award program replaces the Wisconsin Cooperative Builder Award and the Minnesota Cooperative Leadership Award program. Cooperative Network will select three (3) distinguished individuals to add to the Cooperative Builder roster at the annual meeting banquet scheduled for Tuesday, November 15, 2011, at the Rochester Convention Center, Rochester, Minnesota.
