About our Volunteer Councils
P6 Volunteer Council
The P6 Volunteer Council serves as a forum and advisory council for U.S. Co-ops and the cooperative community to share good practices and examples of cooperation among cooperatives and cross-sector cooperative engagement to support replication and expand impact. The Council will also advise U.S. Co-ops on incorporating P6 practices and examples in its programming.
Cooperative Development Volunteer Council
The Cooperative Development Volunteer Council serves as a forum and advisory council for U.S. Co-ops in the development and implementation of co-op development and education programs designed to benefit the cooperative community.
Marketing Volunteer Council
The Marketing Volunteer Council serves as a forum and advisory council for marketing the cooperative identity, providing insights on cross-sector marketing strategies that advance engagement with the cooperative sector, and supporting U.S. Co-ops in the marketing of its programs, initiatives, and events.
The 2026 kick-off meetings for our Volunteer Councils will be scheduled in February so sign up soon to take advantage of this opportunity.
