Dear Esteemed Members and Supporters,
As Chairman of ACE, I am proud to reflect on the strides we have made in advancing cooperative education and development. Our organization, dedicated to fostering a collaborative spirit and promoting innovative solutions, has become a cornerstone in the cooperative community.
Building on this strong foundation, we are eagerly anticipating this year’s ACE Institute, an event that embodies our commitment to cooperation and learning. Set against the vibrant backdrop of North Dakota, a region with a profound cooperative history, the Institute serves as a perfect venue to explore and celebrate our theme: “Cultivating Co-operation.”
This year’s focus is on understanding and nurturing the multifaceted nature of cooperation. We are looking for your insights and proposals on how cooperative education can be designed to cultivate new co-operators, how leadership in cooperatives can be developed, the role of public policy in fostering cooperation, and practical cooperative solutions for strengthening communities.
The ACE Institute is more than just a conference; it’s a convergence of minds and ideas, an opportunity for you to share, learn, and connect with like-minded individuals. Your experiences, insights, and participation are key to enriching the discussions and the overall experience of this event.
Join us in North Dakota for an engaging and insightful experience, where we’ll explore the depths of cooperative principles and practices. Let’s work together to cultivate co-operation and continue to strengthen the impact of ACE in the cooperative community.
Looking forward to your active participation and contributions,
Gary Hampton
Chairman, ACE
