| Abstract |
State cooperative councils serve a valuable role for local cooperatives
by providing services including education, legislative monitoring and lobbying,
and promotion of the cooperative form of business. This paper outlines
the specific challenges that state councils are experiencing in today’s
changing agribusiness environment. The results of a survey of members of
the Colorado cooperative Council are reported. Logit analysis is performed
to identify the factors contributing to the cooperatives' satisfaction with
the state council and the cooperatives use of the councils' services. The
paper concludes with suggestions for action by state councils. |
