ICA is inviting nominations for recipients of the International Co-operative Alliance’s Rochdale Pioneers Award.
The award will be presented in Cape Town, South Africa, when ICA members from around the world convene for the biannual conference.
Nominations are invited from member organisations of the ICA and from organisations in solidarity with the co-operative movement. Nominees must be current or former members or employees in an ICA member organisation or in one of that organisation’s members or affiliates.
If an organisation is nominated, rather than an individual, it must be an ICA member organisation or one of that organisation’s members or affiliates.
A nominee’s achievements must:
• Visibly demonstrate benefit to the global co-operative movement
• Be innovative
• Be financially sustainable and of a permanent nature
• Demonstrate regard to gender issues and concern for the community
Nominations must be received by the Director General by 4 September 2013.
