2020 Vermont Cooperative Summit

Big thanks to @ntnsndr for being a guest speaker on our #Vermont #CoopMonth virtual summit today.

Really inspiring to see how much @USFWC has grown during the Annual Meeting. Great for worker co-op, great for our communities, and a hope for the future of the US! #coopmonth #usfwc #workercoops

As an alternative to our usual #Vermont #CoopMonth party, I want to organize a friendly charity benefit video game tournment that will get folks from different co-ops talking to each other.

Basically, I'm looking for a game that's fun, dead simple to learn by folks of diverse ages, and that could be played socially by the teams on a shared Zoom call.

Any suggestions?

The Association of #Vermont #CreditUnions is devoting their podcast this #CoopMonth to highlighting other #coop sectors, and had me on for the first one to talk #WorkerCoops and #EmployeeOwnership: https://soundcloud.com/vtcreditunions/whats-an-employee-owned-co-op

What's An Employee-Owned Co-op?

You know members own cooperatives, but what's an employee-owned cooperative? How's it work? How common are they? Why do they exist? Matt Cropp, Co-Executive Director of the Vermont Employee Ownership

Thanks to all the #socialcoop members who responded to the time poll for a #CoopMonth strategy session! The most mutually workable date for the call is October 30 at 10am EDT.

If you can make that time, please RSVP and check the tentative agenda via this link: https://www.loomio.org/d/qkHaAuoC/october-2019-social-coop-strategy-thread

Happy #CoopMonth! Here's Tim Huet's excellent #Cooperative Manifesto, for those who haven't already read it (and for those who have):
