Bio-Shot-11“I look forward to taking the helm of the Cooperative Exchange at such a pivotal time in our history,” says newly-elected President Sherry Wilson. “One of my first initiatives to achieve broader input is to create an Executive Strategic Advisory Board to accelerate and expand the influence that the Cooperative Exchange can bring to related organizations and industry governance bodies.” states Wilson, “One of my key objectives for the organization is to provide our health care delivery system with a greater understanding of the significant value clearinghouses offer.
