National Co+op Grocers

We've been supported by other co-ops.

So we're part of a cooperation of cooperatives, which is called the NCG, stands for National Co-op Grocers.

They basically are like an umbrella of networking with other co-ops that have allowed us to have more buying power, but also it gives us a chance.

Like I go to a marketing conference every two years with the NCG and I connect with people doing my role, but in South Dakota or people doing my role, but in Tennessee, I can call other marketing people at other co-ops anytime and ask for help.

Thank you for joining us tonight.

Our next episode will be on Tuesday, September 8th from 6 to 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, where we will hear from Elizabeth Rodriguez from National Farm Worker Ministry, Delvin Brown from the Common Market, and Halima Ali from National Co-op Grocers.

You can also find extended and past episodes of Finding Your Future in Food Systems on the NAFSA website.

If you have any suggestions for speakers or areas of the food sector that you would like us to feature speakers from, please don't hesitate to contact NAFSA leadership or Jeffrey directly.
