NPQ’s latest webinar in its Remaking the Economy series builds on this quarter’s edition of the Nonprofit Quarterly magazine, which, in partnership with the First Nations Development Institute (“First Nations”), lifts up indigenous voices to explore environmental justice and its connection to culture, land, people, and the economy.

For this webinar, NPQ brings you three leading indigenous environmental leaders who will speak to these issues in a discussion-style format. The panelists are:

A-dae Romero Briones (Cochiti/Kiowa) is director of programs of Native Agriculture and Food Systems at First Nations in Longmont, Colorado, where she works to promote indigenous food and agricultural systems and practices.

Kendra Kloster (Tlingit/German) serves as executive director of Native Peoples Action. Based in Anchorage, she directs advocacy and policy work statewide on behalf of Alaskan Natives, who constitute 18 percent of the state’s population. 

Trisha Kehaulani Watson-Sproat (Hawaiian) is based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, where she leads an environmental planning consultancy, serves on the boards on two Hawaiian nonprofits, and writes regularly on environmental justice issues.

In this webinar, engaged young co‑operative professionals, will share their answers to some of the following important questions and many more! 

How can we raise the profile of the co‑operative sector and introduce it to the next generation of members, consumers and      citizens? 

To be attractive to millennials and post‑millennials, are today’s co‑operatives promoting enough the foundational principles and      values at the origin of the co-op movement? 

Could an emphasis on the values and principles attract the next generation of leaders and help them meet the demands of socially conscious consumers?

What challenges and opportunities does the sector face?
