The QCS Leadership Awards recognize those whose commitment and involvement make a meaningful impact on the QCS community. It’s our opportunity to celebrate the people who embody Value in Partnership and help make our cooperative stronger.

We can’t wait to celebrate them!

🤝 October is National Co-op Month!

At QCS, cooperation is more than part of our name. It shapes how we create value.

By bringing companies together around shared purchasing needs, industry expertise, resources, and relationships, our cooperative gives members opportunities to accomplish more collectively than they could on their own.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing more about the cooperative difference and what it means to the people who make QCS what it is.
