CGN Public Group

CGN's Public group provides a forum to facilitate communication among food co-ops and those involved with food co-ops. It is open to anyone who would like to join.

We request that all group members keep their comments focused on topics related to cooperatives and the operations of food co-ops. CGN does not allow the group to be used for commercial purposes. See more in terms of use.

Hello, cooperators!

Welcome to the CGN Public Discussion Group (formerly the CGIN basic listserve). Use the menu on the right to create discussions, view group members and read the terms of use.

As an added function, group members can attach photos and documents to a discussion or comment. Eventually, as resources are culled and curated, they will reside in the Group Resources area in the menu and also be uploaded to the Library.

Please use good etiquette and report any inappropriate behavior to admin@cgin.coop. Read more »
