Note: This is the first year we're trying the annual membership meeting, and we know there will be some conflicts with regional conferences. Keep in mind that the meeting in Madison is a membership meeting. It is not a full conference. We will have some speakers, social activities and co-op tours, but the primary purpose of this event is to hold a USFWC member business meeting. We are inviting representatives from NCBA and the Small Business Administration, in the hopes of having very targeted and productive conversations with them to advance worker cooperatives.
