The Internal Summit of Cooperatives, held in Quebec City in 2012, was for Monique F. Leroux, Chair of the Board, President and CEO of Desjardins Group, a unique opportunity to meet many players in the cooperative sector. The experience made her to want to make some of these leaders better known and bring awareness of the value of cooperatives and mutuals to individuals, the economy and society.

In the book, Ms. Leroux shares the highlights of her interviews of cooperative sector leaders from North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. In these conversations, they share their experiences, their vision of the challenges cooperatives and mutuals currently face and their aspirations for the cooperative sector.
