Co-ops 101 Session at Mi Casa Resource Center

I am pleased to announce that, thanks to the gracious partnership with Marcus Weathersby at Mi Casa Resource Center, I will be providing a Co-ops 101 workshop FREE and open to the public on October 20!  The workshop will occur at 6pm on Tuesday, October 20th at Mi Casa's headquarters: 360 Acoma St, Denver, CO.

This workshop is presented to coincide with Mi Casa's current run of the Business Success Training for low-income entrepreneurs, however the co-ops workshop is open for anyone to attend.  If you're looking to learn more about what co-ops are all about, this is for you!

Please help me spread the word about this great opportunity to learn about co-op organizations.  Click here to download a flyer, and post freely!

Hope to see you there!

Union Co-ops present a hopeful model for achieving worker co-op growth

This weekend, I had the privilege of attending an eight-hour seminar on the union co-ops model, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center , Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Cooperative Development Center , Communication Workers of America Local 7777 , Adams County Board of Commissioners Charles "Chaz" Tedesco , and many others.  The event was hosted over a two-day period at the Denver Pipefitters Local 208  building on North Broadway.  Our inspiring guest presenters included Kristen Barker of the Cincinnati Union Co-op Initiative and Rob Witherell of the United Steel Workers based in Pittsburgh, PA, who generously shared a wealth of experience and knowledge over the course of the event. In attendance were about thirty people, made up mostly of union staff, members, and supporters, with a handful of co-op champions and developers (such as RMEOC, RMFU CDC, and myself) and a couple interested community members and graduate students.

New job with The Bike Depot!

I have an exciting announcement to make.  I am pleased to report that I have just accepted the position of General Manager with The Bike Depot , a wonderful non-profit organization serving Denver's Park Hill community and beyond with affordable access to used bikes, bicycle repair resources, bicycle repair and riding classes for youth and adults, and so much more.  Although a different structure, the work is very much akin to my long-term involvement with Free Ride , based in Pittsburgh, PA. While I am pleased with the stability and growth opportunity presented by accepting this new position, it is not easy to set aside the co-op consulting business I have worked so hard to grow.  My heart remains with co-ops, but at The Bike Depot, I have a chance to really make a direct positive impact in people's lives, and strengthen the organization as it grows to serve more of the Denver community through applying my skills and sensibilities to the job. However--and this is important!
