COMMUNITY AND THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE COOPERATIVE

1. What are the social entrepreneurship practice by the tribe?

a. How did you start the cooperative?

b. What are the factors that lead you to establish the cooperative?

c. Describe your experience as a member of the cooperative?


In terms of the 7 principles of cooperative:
1. Voluntary and open membership. Co-ops are open to all who are
able to use their services and willing to accept the
responsibilities of membership.
2. Democratic member control. Co-ops are controlled by their
members, who set the policies and make decisions. Elected
representatives are accountable to the members, who have
equal voting rights: one member, one vote.
3. Member economic participation. Members contribute equitably
to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative.
They allocate surpluses to develop the co-op, and benefit in
proportion to their transactions with the co-op.
4. Autonomy and independence. Cooperatives are self-help
organizations controlled by their members. If they enter into
agreements with other organizations, they do so on terms that
ensure democratic control by their members.
5. Education, training and information. Co-ops provide education
and training for members, elected representatives, managers
and employees so they can contribute to the development of
their co-ops. They inform the public, particularly young people
and opinion leaders, about the nature and benefits of
cooperation.
6. Cooperation among cooperatives. Cooperatives serve their
members by working together locally, nationally, regionally and
internationally.
7. Concern for community. While focusing on member needs,
cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their
communities.
