"I attended the Reinvigorating Regional Australia: a co-operative approach workshop in Wagin and I strongly recommend this workshop to others. Australian culture has a long, rich history with co-operatives, we seem to have misplaced the importance and the impact co-operatives have built for our economy. The content from Peter Kenyon, Lincolns Accounting and CBH Group were excellent. The information about Co-operatives vs Incorporated NFP was pivotal. Detailed explanations of concepts and key organisations to contact made the whole concept of co-operatives very streamlined. My key takeaway was the relevance in making a community impact, similar to the foundational story of why CBH Group was formed, it is predominantly about the members, leaving a legacy and empowering the community for generations. It was interesting to learn how a co-operative serves differently to the NFP Model and how both models serve the community above everything else."
