It seems we took a breather over the holidays from our organizing, but things are now back in full swing. We’ve got a group organizing the development of a greenhouse for starts, the Business Planning Team is getting into full swing for recommendations on Membership Requirements and Incorporation issues and we are in talks with 21 Acres to partner together on a training program for urban farmers. We’ll be having a series of general meetings starting in as soon as a week to discuss these issues and begin forming our operating procedures and group decision making systems.
In the mean time, make sure and check out the following presentation:
There is a Presentation on Mondragón, a large Spanish cooperative this week. It’s presented by Shaula Massena with Northwest Socially Responsible Investing. She had a chance to visit the organization and is reporting on that experience.
