About Us - Kansas Cooperative Council

Who Are We?

Since 1944, the Kansas Cooperative Council (KCC) has been a voluntary trade association representing all forms of cooperatively structured businesses in Kansas. As the voice for cooperatives across the state, we are committed to ensuring they remain a strong and valued part of Kansas's economic landscape.

Our work is built on three key pillars: Advocacy, Education, and Promotion.

At the KCC, we are dedicated to helping cooperatives thrive by providing the resources, representation, and leadership development they need. We invite you to explore our work, connect with the people behind our mission, and join us in strengthening the cooperative movement in Kansas.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Membership in the Kansas Cooperative Council is a voluntary investment that pays big dividends. The Council's voice is strong and influential on legislative and regulatory matters impacting our agribusiness, utility and financial cooperatives. Advocates for cooperative businesses are actively engaged in the halls of the Kansas Statehouse and lobbying Capitol Hill. Educational programs are tailored for cooperative directors and employees, providing valuable resources for growth and development. All these efforts aim to enhance the business environment for cooperatives and equip our members with the tools they need to succeed.

The Board is comprised of two directors from each Council's farm and ag supply district and representatives from ProValue Insurance, KEC, Land O'Lakes, CHS, and the Farm Credit System.
