Women in Co-op Leadership
•
Co-operatives First
For this special podcast episode we spoke to the out-going board president of Federated Co-operatives Limited, Sharon Alford. With International Women’s Day coming up we want to get her perspective as the first woman to lead this iconic institution.
Sharon shares useful insights for women who are heading their own co-ops and anyone who serves on a co-op board. This conversation highlights the depth of her integrity and why she’s been a trusted and effective leader for the past five years.
