Historically, Tagum Cooperative organized its own Sister Society Chapter on May 22, 2015. With the spirit of volunteerism, members of the Sister Society participated in every community development program, promoting Gender Equality and other programs for coop members’ socio-economic welfare.
The Sister Societies are established on a local level around the world to further the GWLN’s global mission by making a local impact. The purpose is to assemble the coop leaders, discuss coop issues, exchange ideas, network with neighboring coop leaders, and provide education to share lessons learned with the GWLN members worldwide.
