We have many opportunities to start over. Each new day is an opportunity to start over, but there’s nothing like a whole year to start over. New Year’s provides that opportunity. Let's join hands, hearts & spirits to start over this new year. Have a great start over & great year!

Think co-ops are some kind of niche approach ? Think again. One in three people are members of co-ops in the U.S. These businesses do it all and are big and small. Thank you @natlcoopbank for compiling the Co-op 100 again this year to show us the scale of co-ops @NCBACLUSA
Today, National Cooperative Bank released its annual NCB Co-op 100® Report, listing the nation’s top 100 revenue-earning cooperative businesses. In 2023, these businesses posted revenue totaling $325 billion. Read the complete report here: https://t.co/xpStKSOZO3
