STA. CRUZ, Laguna – The Provincial Cooperative Development Office (PCDO) of the Provincial Government of Laguna conducted “Cooperative Management and Governance Seminar” on 22 April 2025 at the Pedro Guevara Memorial National High School (PGMNHS) Training Hall in this municipality.
The participants were informed and made to fully understand the concept of cooperative management and governance for them to properly lead and effectively manage their respective MPCs.
In a nutshell, cooperative management refers to the method where members not only can vote for their chosen representatives but can also directly participate in decision-making; while cooperative governance refers to the set of internal rules, bylaws, procedures and policies that serve as operating guidelines in successfully running the organization.
Members of several multi-purpose cooperatives (MPCs) of the province participated in the event, sponsored by the Laguna Provincial Cooperative Development Council and the Santa Cruz Municipal Development Council.
