Final call to elevate our shared voice...register today! |
|
Building on the momentum of our most recent Summit and Annual Meeting theme, Cooperative Connections, Minnesota Co-op Day at the Capitol brings that spirit to life by uniting cooperative leaders, members, and advocates to strengthen relationships and elevate our shared voice.
This day is more than a gathering — it’s an opportunity to connect directly with policymakers, showcase the impact of cooperatives, and work together to shape a stronger future for our communities.
When cooperatives come together, we create shared strength, spark new opportunities, and demonstrate the power of collaboration. |
|
TUESDAY,
Minnesota State Capitol and Fredrikson Government Relations St. Paul, MN 55103
Registration ends 4/3/2026 |

Join us as we turn connection into action and ensure the cooperative voice is heard where it matters most.
