In 2023, we will begin monthly cooperative clinics with industry practitioners and professionals. These sessions will discuss the importance of cooperatives and the cooperative economy and ecosystem we aim to cultivate together. The sessions will be divided into individual industries, in order to concentrate focus. The participants will meet twice, with one month in-between sessions. In our groups, we will discuss why individual industry practitioners are critical to the success of the cooperative economy, and together we will investigate the best methods for our collaboration. Also in the sessions we will study the specific issues that cooperatives generally face, as well as those which the industry will specifically address in their work. In the sessions there will be two facilitators: one PACA cooperative developer and one cooperatives-experienced industry practitioner. These clinics will be at no cost to the participants. However, we ask that participants commit to attending both sessions, as best they can. These sessions will be on Zoom, throughout the duration of 2023. Please fill out this form, if you wish to participate. You will be contacted in order to schedule a brief discussion on why you want to join the series and information about your current practitioner experience.
