Last one, guys! If you’ve been following the letters like you’re supposed to, you should have collected H-O-B-A-R-T!
“Did you know…OSCA follows the Rochdale Principles, a set of guildelines laid out in 1844 England with the first successful, store-front co-op. They are as follows… 1) Open Membership. 2) Democratic Control. 3) Member Economic Participation. 4) Autonomy and Independence. 5) Education, Training, & Info. 6) Co-operation Among Co-ops. 7) Concern for Community.”
How do you see the Rochdale Principles play out (or fail to play out) in OSCA?
