PHI Strategic Advisor Steven L. Dawson, who founded PHI and served as its president until September 2012, was inducted into the Cooperative Hall of Fame on May 8 amidst a sea of supporters in Washington, DC.
His many accomplishments in the cooperative sector span decades and include the founding of two worker-owner home care agencies, Cooperative Home Care Associates in the Bronx and Home Care Associates in Philadelphia — both affiliates of PHI.
The award was presented to Steven by Aaron Dawson, who following in his father’s footsteps, works with Equal Exchange, a Fair Trade Massachusetts worker co-op.
