Why Join UE Caloocan Multi-Purpose Cooperative (UECMC)?

(Exclusive for University of the East Caloocan Campus Employees and Faculty Members)
Here are seven good reasons:

1. OWN the cooperative.
UECMC members own the cooperative equally. You can be as active as you choose. You have a voice and a vote at Regular General Assembly Meetings, which is held once every year or even during Special General Assembly Meetings, where you help define the vision and mission of our cooperative, and are welcome to share your views for its betterment. You can serve on a committee or even become a member of the Board of Directors, suggest new services and products, and volunteer in the implementation of projects. Since UECMC is still very young, there are wider rooms of opportunities available for both the cooperative and you.

2.  REFUND your expenses.
UECMC members receive patronage refunds for the products and services that they took advantage of in the cooperative. Meaning, members are actually not just availing the products and services at affordable prices but also at prices a lot lower or “cheaper” than the usual.

3. Have a PASSIVE INCOME.
By investing in the cooperative, that is by buying shares of stocks, you are not just saving the money you earn but also you are making your money work for you because the amount you invested will determine your share in the net surplus of the cooperative during the yearly dividend distribution.

4. SAVE the money you earn.
UECMC members are required to save at least a little portion of their salary to their Savings Deposit Account. They are also encouraged to put up their Time Deposit Accounts that could earn interest higher than what they could earn in other savings and financing institutions. 

5. Participate in TRAINING and other LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.
As a member of UECMC, you will be equipped with knowledge that will immerse you in to the idea of the cooperative movement, its principles and objectives, as included in the curricular requirements prescribed by the cooperative authority.

6. Get involved in the COMMUNITY.
Being a member of UECMC is much more exciting as the members given the chance to share what they have in excess to the community through outreach programs.

7. Start an INCOME-GENERATING activity.
UECMC members are given equal opportunity to think, to design, to propose and, if feasible and approved by the directors, to implement a business that can be a secondary source of their income.
