Members of the Nueva Vizcaya General Comprehensive High School (NVGCHS) Multi-Purpose Cooperative gathered for the Cooperative General Assembly to discuss the organization's accomplishments, strategic direction, and future initiatives centered on transparency, accountability, and active member participation, July 25.
Glenda P. Mendoza opened the assembly by emphasizing that trust, inclusivity, unity, mutual respect, and collaboration are the foundations of a strong cooperative.
Secondary School Principal IV Dr. Luviminda M. Cordero, in her welcome remarks, introduced herself as a new member of the NVGCHS Multi-Purpose Cooperative and commended the cooperative for its regulatory compliance and adherence to good governance.
Introducing the guest speaker, Aloyda B. Calangan highlighted the power of collaborative action, emphasizing that collective effort is essential in achieving the cooperative's vision and sustaining its long-term growth.
Guest speaker Richard P. Cordero, Manager of the Magapuy Farmers Cooperative, challenged the cooperative to capitalize on its expanding membership by crafting a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the school administration and newly hired employees to facilitate their automatic membership in the cooperative.
Furthermore, he explained that such a move would strengthen the organization's sustainability and broaden its member base.
Emphasizing transparency and accountability as the foundation of cooperativism, Cordero encouraged the cooperative to establish incentive programs that recognize meritorious members and inspire stronger commitment among its membership.
Subsequently, Dr. Virgilio P. Gragasin Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors led the presentation of the committees' reports and discussed the cooperative's proposed three-year development plan, a key requirement for the renewal of its registration.
The development plan focuses on improving lending operations, strengthening the rice loan program, enhancing the performance of the school canteen, expanding the student savings program, establishing a mortuary assistance fund, increasing membership participation, reinforcing governance and Gender and Development (GAD) initiatives, increasing assets and reserves, and boosting patronage and dividend distribution.
During the open forum, members were encouraged to continuously patronize the products and services of the NVGCHS Multi-Purpose Cooperative to sustain its operations and ensure its continued growth.
In her closing message, Dr. Cordero reminded members that belonging to the cooperative is more than a financial investment.
She further emphasized that being a member of the NVGCHS Multi-Purpose Cooperative reflects genuine concern for others, one's family, and the entire school community, reinforcing the cooperative's mission of promoting solidarity, shared responsibility, and sustainable development.
The assembly concluded with members reaffirming their commitment to support the cooperative's programs and initiatives as it continues to pursue sustainable growth and improved services for its members and the broader NVGCHS community.
