Community Economic Development (CED) initiatives are, by definition, local solutions to local issues. Many of us working at the community level are not directly involved in policy and advocacy work on a provincial or national scale. But, whether we like it or not, our work can be impacted by political forces at play globally, nationally, and provincially. If we want to make lasting change, policy and advocacy work is vital.
If you know change is needed but you don’t know where to start, or if you are new to the policy and advocacy realm, then this webinar is for you. We will discuss public policy and how it works, and go over the key components of an advocacy strategy. This webinar will be applicable whether your work is at the local, provincial, or national level.
Please join us on January 14!
12:30 - 1:30 p.m. CST
Co-operatives are guided by their principles and values to balance purpose and profits, while serving their members and communities. Our future requires significant action on climate resilience, meaningful engagement in reconciliation, eliminating racism and discrimination, and ending poverty and homelessness. Will the co-operative principles achieve those outcomes, or do co-operatives need to do more? Using Assiniboine Credit Union as an example, Brendan’s talk looks at how the Benefit Corporation (B Corp) designation can strengthen co-operatives and advance a vision of a sustainable future of belonging and dignity for all.
Brendan Reimer is Assiniboine Credit Union’s Strategic Partner of Values-Based Banking. Brendan is also the co-chair of the Canadian Credit Union Association’s Community Impact Committee, and volunteers as a board member with both SEED Winnipeg and the Manitoba Real Estate Foundation Shelter Foundation. Brendan is a passionate educator and organizer dedicated to creating inclusive, fairer, and more sustainable economies and communities and has worked effectively with academia, governments, private sector, and community organizations in advancing that vision.
