2022 Annual Meeting Edition
In this special edition of Around the Federation you will find information regarding our Annual Meeting. It's time to come together to celebrate, learn, network, and fellowship.

Join us in celebrating 55 years of our work and progress in the development of the Federation as a cooperatively owned institution and the foremost organization serving Black farmers, landowners, and cooperatives across the South.

The Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund is a cooperatively owned association of Black farmers, landowners, and cooperatives that serves as a vehicle for self-empowerment and various initiatives for members to gain access to credit, obtain technical assistance, navigate USDA programs, hold onto and develop their land, and form cooperatives in order to build wealth.
We are pleased to announce Dr. Bernard Lafayette, Jr. is this year's recipient of the 21st Annual Estelle Witherspoon Lifetime Achievement Award.

It is an understatement to describe Dr. LaFayette as passionate about the philosophy and methodology of Kingian Nonviolence! He is a Civil Rights Movement activist, minister, educator, lecturer, and an authority on the strategy of Nonviolent Social Change. He has devoted his life to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's final 1968 marching orders, to “institutionalize and internationalize Nonviolence.”
Members, sponsors, and non-members, we invite you to register to the attend the Annual Meeting. This is a celebration of our work, memories, and progress.

There will be a virtual education component for those unable to attend.
