In early May, co-operative leaders came together at the Singapore Co-operative Forum 2024 to glean insights on talent development and leadership succession from thought leaders in the co-operative, corporate, and union sectors. 

Organised by the Singapore National Co-operative Federation (SNCF), the forum, themed “Do Today for Tomorrow’s Needs”, saw some 110 participants attending. They include representatives from the different co-operative sectors (Credit, Service, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and Campus), the Registry of Co-operative Societies, the Central Co-operative Fund Committee, and other stakeholders.

Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth, and Trade and Industry Alvin Tan, and Members of Parliament Ms Carrie Tan and Mr Yip Hon Weng were also in attendance.

“The theme underscores the importance of addressing current challenges while anticipating future demands within our co-operatives,” said Service Sector Chairperson and event host Ms Evelyn Siow (Seacare).
