The article discusses the importance of member involvement in decision-making as a fundamental principle of credit cooperativism, which is particularly exemplified by Sicoob Credip through the organization of pre-assemblies. These gatherings, which take place prior to the General Assembly, are designed to foster dialogue, transparency, and collaborative decision-making among members. These pre-assemblies will provide a platform for cooperative members to closely engage with the management of their cooperative, clarify any doubts they might have, and offer suggestions that directly influence the cooperative's direction.

Scheduled to take place from February 10 to April 23, the pre-assemblies will occur in various locations including Seringueiras and Espigão do Oeste in the state of Rondônia. This initiative underscores the cooperative's commitment to democratic engagement by enabling members to play an active role in the governance of the organization. The president of the Board of Directors of Sicoob highlighted that this process not only strengthens member participation but also aligns with the cooperative's values of collective contribution and shared leadership.

The implementation of pre-assemblies reflects a broader trend within credit cooperatives to involve members more deeply in organizational decisions. By facilitating these meetings, Sicoob Credip seeks to ensure that its members are not just passive recipients of information but active participants in shaping the future of their cooperative, which could lead to more responsive and member-centric governance practices.
