About Us
The Dixie Cooperative was born out of the Dixie Business Network, the first idea that drastically improves the art of business networking. After more than three years of weekly networking without compulsion or the force of scarcity, members in the network surfaced a new vision they call The Dixie Cooperative.
For more about this network, see their webpage at DixieBusinessNetwork.com. They have two networking groups that meet weekly and they are growing.
