Featuring special guest speaker Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard: “Diversity & Inclusion Aren’t Enough: Practical Tools for Worker Co-ops and the Worker Co- op Movement”
With increased attention on systemic racism and inequality, organizations in the co-op sector are seeking to centre racial justice in their work. But how best can we do that? Drawing on her decades of experience in this area, Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard, a professor at John Jay College, City University of New York, and member of the U.S. Cooperative Hall of Fame, will explain why creating real change will take more than diversity and inclusion.
THE LONGER A DOLLAR CAN CIRCULATE WITHIN A COMMUNITY,
THE GREATER ITS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACTS.
Community Investment Co-ops (CICs) are a new and innovative support model for rural and urban economic and business development that effectively bridge the gap between local investors and local ventures in need of financing. CICs have successfully financed ventures across Canada that generate significant local impacts including: affordable housing; renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and food production; locally-owned small business development; technology; and community economic development projects.
On March 10th, join Eden Yesh, the BC Rural Centre, and the Canadian Community Economic Development Network to explore the CIC model in more depth.
During this webinar Eden Yesh, Chair of the BC Community Impact Investment Coalition and Manager of Community & Economic Development at Kootenay Employment Services, will be releasing the BC Community Investment Co-op Start-Up & Operations Guide. This Guide provides a road map for the CIC development process, complete with templates, to plan, incorporate and operate a Community Investment Co-op in British Columbia.
