The Golf Shirt of Hope - Building Strong Cooperative Institutions | Made by our network member cooperative
ACI/SA board members deliberated on what it could look like to talk about building strong cooperatives. The board agrees that following the constitution, regular board meetings, training, research and consultancy are key actions and steps in the building of strong cooperative institutions. In agreeing the board moved that a Golf Shirt of hope be adopted. This T-Shirt is intended to make a bold statement that ACI/SA is ready and prepared to champion the educational, research and consultative interests of cooperatives in South Africa and beyond.
We invite you to support our motivation to build a strong sector of cooperatives by donating R270 to receive your Golf Shirt of Hope. Proceeds from the T-Shirts will contribute to procuring equipment for ACI/SA's team members, involved in both administration and training facilitation. Meaning this will contribute directly to our hope of building a strong ACI/SA cooperative and the broader cooperative sector benefiting from our programmes.
