Members
The association is currently supported by approximately 100 members, who—in addition to a few individual members—are predominantly companies from all sectors of the cooperative movement in the Rhineland. As is generally the case in cooperative practice, cooperative banks and their affiliated companies play a prominent role.
If you, too, would like to support the dialogue between cooperative practice and cooperative theory, we look forward to welcoming you as a new member. You’ll find a membership application in the right-hand column.
