MADISON, Wis.—Several Wisconsin credit unions and the Wisconsin Credit Union League will be among the sponsors of the 12th annual “Co-op Connection” next to the Dane County Farmers’ Market tomorrow, Oct. 7, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m.
The event will feature numerous Wisconsin cooperatives in an event designed to celebrate the movement.
Co-op Connection is hosted by Summit Credit Union and sponsored by the Willy Street Co‐op, The Wisconsin Credit Union League, UW Center for Cooperatives and Wisconsin Farmers Union.
“It offers a variety of family-fun activities and prize drawings from participating co-ops,” Summit Credit Union said. “There will be representatives from a variety of sectors joining us this year, including grocery, farming, housing, interpreter and co-op education organizations.”
Cooperative Principle Number 6
According to Summit CU, the event promotes cooperative principle number six: cooperation among co-ops.
“It also allows the public to discover and learn about cooperatives in their community, our common guiding principles, and the benefits of co-op membership,” Summit CU stated.
It also provides an opportunity for the co-ops to develop strong and lasting relationships with one another, the credit union added.
“We are honored to host the Co-op Connection event again this year,” said Summit Credit Union CEO & President Kim Sponem. “Our cooperative structure is what sets credit unions apart and this event is a great way to collaborate and show our community what Wisconsin cooperatives have to offer.”
