Last day, but not the least! Today, our #ACEInstitute2024 participants had the chance of taking it all in, one last time. Our traditional open mic closed the week perfectly. Here is to another great ACE Institute! #CultivatingCooperation #CooperativeEducation

Last night was a time of recognition for actors making a difference in their community, with the ACE Awards being given to deserving recipients. Congratulations to Bill Patrie, Frida Ballard, Lori Capouch and Lymarie Nieves Plaza! #CultivatingCooperation #CooperativeEducation

Here are some additional pictures from our co-op tour yesterday where our participants had the privilege of visiting the incredible Standing Rock site where so many innovative initiatives are being developed and put into action. #CultivatingCooperation #CooperativeEducation

What a great day! It was filled with multiple visits to various co-ops in the region. Here are some of the first pictures coming from North Dakota! Tonight is the big night with the ACE Banquet starting soon! #ACEInstitute2024 #CultivatingCooperation #CooperativeEducation

It is with deep sadness that we bid farewell to one of our founding members, Harold Everett Chapman. ACE extends its deepest sympathies to Harold’s family and friends. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we carry forward the torch of cooperative education.
