No other business in the world states its philosophy as clearly and as publicly as cooperatives. Anyone is allowed to join a cooperative. Each member is entitled to one vote. Nonprofit Organization cooperatives are established to provide necessary services and not to make a profit. No Stockholders unlike other businesses, there are no stockholders.
Members own the cooperative.
Continuing Education for cooperatives to survive, members must be informed. It is the responsibility of the cooperative to provide members with critical information about their business. We believe cooperatives must work together to be effective. Concern For Community cooperatives are involved in the community. A portion of the mission of ECE is to enhance the quality of life in this area.
