Creating a Worker-Owned Green Enterprise Parts I and II

After their morning keynote address, Omar Freilla and Jim Anderson will offer a 2-hour workshop on the specific details of how people in our communities can create their own worker-owned cooperatives and profit from the green economy.  

In this workshop, we’ll explore questions such as: 

·      What financial resources are needed?  

·      What public seed funding is available?

·      Where to get support for market analyses or job training support?  

·      How to set up a healthy self-governance structure?  

·      How to deal with competition from mainstream firms?

Join us for this unique opportunity to learn firsthand from two people inspired to make a difference by creating good jobs that give the power and the profits to the people doing the work, while protecting our ecosystems.
