The Roy B. Davis Cooperative Management Program is an effort of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to serve the needs of existing cooperative businesses and assist producer groups with coordinated business initiatives. Program personnel interact closely with industry associations to maintain relevant programming for our clientele. Building on the long-standing tradition of cooperative service from the Roy B. Davis professorship in agricultural cooperation, the Program specializes in the provision of scholarly analysis and the development of innovative educational material. In the words of one client, “this fresh thinking has grabbed the attention of many of our cooperative agribusiness leaders.”
The mission of the Program is to improve the economic vitality of rural communities through the cooperative business actions of their citizens. In pursuit of this mission, the Program strives to provide assistance that is customer driven. Indeed, our philosophy is to emphasize “people, not programs.”
