Helping Co-ops stay Co-op-y

Co-op Membership

In a co-op *in theory!* all members, *and the co-op itself*, should *demonstrably* act in conformity with the ICA Statement of Definition, Values and Principles in its (our) 'Statement on The Co-operative Identity.

This Statement is logged at http://www.interestfreemoney.org/papers/

Ps ICA = International Co-operative Alliance. Its website www.ica.coop is not as good as I'd like.

I hope this helps.

Ps at our 1999 Co-operative Party Annual Conference, Conference unanimously adopted our following Motion on 'Annual Co-operative Audits':

  'Conference invites all Co-operatives to, annually, carry out and publicise 'Annual Co-operative Audits' to demonstrate their fidelity to the ICA Statement on The Co-operative Identity.

No Co-op, yet, has done so.
