2011 Advancing Cooperation Together Conference held January 12-14

Dairylea Cooperative Inc. and Dairy Farmers of America, Inc.’s Northeast Area were proud once again to sponsor the Advancing Cooperation Together (ACT) Conference. The conference, held January 12-14, at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool, N.Y. welcomed participants from farms across the Northeast. This year’s conference was geared at leadership development and gave the young farmer participants an opportunity to sit in on a joint cooperative board meeting between DFA, Dairylea and St. Albans Cooperative Creamery, and socialize with farmer leaders and management staff.
