About Us

As of early 2018, what was formally known as the Global Co-operative Development Group Inc for 7 years, has morphed into what is now the Global Co-operative Development Network.
The network involves officials, professionals, practicioners and academics from around the world who have a personal interest in the future success of co-operatives. Individuals can be involved in three ways: as a lifetime member, as a sustaining member, or a following member. Lifetime membership involvement is voluntary, and is limited to individual persons. Sustaining members can include anyone or any organization who may wish to assist the co-operative in its efforts in some fashion. Following members include all others who have actively helped in some way or wish to remain aware of what the co-operative has planned or is doing.
One of the co-operative's original three founding members, long time co-operator educator and author Dr. Ian MacPherson passed suddenly in late 2013. His energy, humor and deep love for co-operatives and of co-operation will not soon be forgotten.
