Established with a dedication to promoting and advocating for cooperative enterprises nationwide, the Philippine Chamber of Cooperatives Inc. (Coop Chamber) has rapidly emerged as a vital voice for cooperative principles. Through strategic legislative advocacy and nationwide engagement, the Chamber has created an environment conducive to cooperative growth and community development.
Today, the Coop Chamber celebrates its first anniversary with an inaugural National Leadership Conference at Sequoia Hotel, Aseana Business Park, Parañaque City, Metro Manila.
Themed “Our Coop, Our Voice,” this conference marks a significant milestone, coinciding with the completion of its organizational formation of regional coop chambers across sixteen regions. The event gathers leaders, stakeholders, and members to discuss key issues, set strategic directions for 2024-2025, and endorse essential executive and legislative agendas.
Distinguished speakers include Senator Imee R. Marcos, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Cooperatives, as the Keynote Speaker, alongside representatives from the House of Representatives, government officials, cooperative leaders, and industry experts. The agenda features a mass oath-taking ceremony for regional coop chamber leaders and interactive sessions on policy formulation, advocacy strategies, and cooperative development initiatives.
“We are excited to convene our inaugural National Leadership Conference, where we will reflect on our achievements, strategize for the future, and reinforce our commitment to advancing cooperative ideals,” remarked Mr. Noel D. Raboy, Chairperson and Founding Trustee of the Coop Chamber.
The event will begin with an opening ceremony featuring presentations from allied cooperatives, solidarity messages, keynote addresses, panel discussions, and a press conference. The afternoon session will focus on regional reports, strategic planning, and the adoption of key resolutions to strengthen the cooperative movement in the Philippines.
This National Leadership Conference marks a pivotal moment for the Coop Chamber as it celebrates a year of dedicated service to cooperative formations nationwide, reaffirming its role as a leading advocate for the cooperative movement in the Philippines.
