Since its founding in 1962, the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives has benefited from the guidance of an advisory committee. Comprised of cooperative and university leaders, the committee members play an important role in UWCC’s strategic direction and provide counsel on education, outreach, and research initiatives. Additionally, committee members provide perspective on developments within their cooperative sector and important linkages to the broader cooperative community.
We are grateful for their support and guidance.
