Cooperative Development - IAWGC Cooperative Conversion Committee



Published
The Interagency Working Group on Cooperative Development spearheaded by USDA Rural Development's Rural Business-Cooperative Service held four virtual committee meetings designed to share information on cooperative conversions, the environment, the care economy, and the food supply chain. Nearly 100 representatives from across the federal family joined the working group with the goals of educating the public about cooperatives as a development tool; facilitating better coordination among federal agencies with jurisdiction over cooperative development and operation; and begin building out an effective interagency website to pool cooperative resources from federal agencies, state agencies, and cooperative allies.

Federal agencies involved include the U.S. Small Business Administration, the U.S. Economic Development Agency, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Labor, Veterans Affairs, Center for Disease Control, Department of Health and Human Services, the General Services Administration, the Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, and the Federal Reserve.

USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
