Cooperatives have played and are continuing to play
a vital role in North Dakota's economy. NDCCC was started when cooperatives saw a
need for a formal organization to support and promote cooperatives within the state
of North Dakota. NDCCC, a cooperative made up of many cooperatives, has been active
in participating in events such as:
State
Fair Co-op Day-Cooperative
members representing a variety of cooperatives serve a free breakfast
of pancakes, sausage, juice, and coffee in the morning and serve
ice cream cones in the afternoon during the North Dakota State
Fair in Minot, ND every year.
  
Co-op
Month-October
is Co-op Month and during this month the Coordinating Council promotes cooperatives
through a variety of ways including publishing articles, speaking around the state, and
handing out packets with cooperative information. Check out the Co-op
Month Web Page.
Cooperatives
represented in the Coordinating Council for Cooperatives include North Dakota Association
of Rural Electric Cooperatives and North Dakota Association of Telecommunications
Cooperatives, North Dakota Credit Union League, North Dakota Farmers Union, Minn-Dak
Farmers Cooperative, Land O'Lakes, Cenex-Harvest States Cooperatives and CoBank.
The story of North
Dakota cooperatives is a story of accomplishment, achievement and economic contribution to
members, employees and communities. It is a dynamic, vibrant story still in the process of
creation as new and emerging cooperatives evolve and established cooperatives expand and
diversify. The members of the North Dakota Coordinating Council of Cooperatives have an
impressive story to tell.a
