The next ICA General Assembly will be held on 20 June 2022 in Seville, Spain, and hosted by the Spanish Confederation of Worker Cooperatives (COCETA). After two years of forced virtualisation, the 2022 edition of the General Assembly promises to be exceptional, claims an ICA release.
From a statutory point of view, it will report on the activity and will take stock of the structural and institutional progress of the ICA since our last elective meeting in November 2017.
ICA members are invited to nominate candidates for the ICA President and Board. For more information, download the “Call for Board Nominations and Nomination Form 2022”, reads the release.
Meanwhile, Indian Cooperative has gathered that the candidates have already launched campaigning to secure a seat at the highest co-op body in the world. India has a Board seat at ICA, represented by IFFCO’s Aditya Yadav, son of Shiv Pal. Sources confide that Aditya is once again a candidate from IFFCO.
Indian co-operators have coordinated very well among themselves in Aditya’s last election and recently in the election Dr Chandra Pal Singh as the President of ICA AP. “We forget small differences when it comes to the matter of national pride. We will win again at ICA Board”, said a senior co-operator to Indian Cooperative.
The ICA General Assembly will be preceded – from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm – by a panel discussion on the theme “Cooperatives: the time is now!”.
Organised by the Spanish cooperative movement, this debate will address major international issues.
The calendar of events and the programme is still under development and will be available soon.
Official Meeting Documentation – will be available 21 May and the Registration and Voter Designation Form – will be available 21 May.
The full agenda for the ICA General Assembly 2022 will be provided closer to the date and will include important items for decision such as election of the ICA Board, Approval of the 2021 Accounts, etcetera.
