Awards

Most notably, Howard was recognized with the Rochdale Pioneers Award in 2019. Known as the "Nobel Prize of Cooperative Business,” Howard is the first American to receive the honor celebrating his leadership behind the unparalleled success of CCA Global Partners, his limitless entrepreneurial spirit, and his ground breaking branding and marketing contributions to the global cooperative business community.

This honor is presented by the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA). The Rochdale Pioneers Award is only given out every two years to an individual who has made the greatest impact across the world through the innovations of shared ownership. In its history, the ICA has recognized only 16 individuals with Rochdale Awards. Brodsky received the honor at the ICA’s October 2019 Global Cooperative Conference in Kigali, Rwanda; with 108 countries represented by over 1,000 attendees.
