Co-op boards ‘need strategic thinking’ to deliver on job creation
Prof Ward said Irish agri-food stakeholders can retain control over the boom that will emerge from the post-2015 end of EU milk quota restrictions, but this will require new skills at board level. Head of food business and director of the Centre for Co-operative Studies at UCC, he was speaking at the launch of UCC’s new Rabobank Ireland 2012 Scholarship.
The scholarship is open to applications from voluntary or paid workers with a co-operative organisation or co-op support body intending to apply for UCC’s MBS in Co-operative and Social Enterprise by e-learning.
