At last month’s meeting we decided to have two meetings on a regular basis: A Co-op 101 for folks who are new to worker cooperatives, and a Peer Resource Group for worker cooperators who are either already in the process of forming or are a part of a worker cooperative.

This month, we’ll be trying a format where the first hour is a Co-op 101, and the second hour is a Peer Resource Group. Both are open to the public, but folks new to worker co-ops are strongly encouraged to attend the 101.

Thursday, March 14
