In this series, we get to know our co-operative leaders and hear them share their knowledge and insights on the co-operative model during informal conversations with CEO Saya Wahrlich.

In Episode 11 of Co-op Leader Conversations, Cooperative Business NZ CEO Saya Wahrlich sat down with David Fraser, CEO of Capricorn Society, to discuss what type of structure the co-operative works under while celebrating their 50 year milestone. Hear David touch on the main benefits of being a co-operative, what type of organisations are Capricorn’s members across Australia and New Zealand; and the challenges those members are facing in 2024.
