Multi-Stakeholder Cooperatives
THE EVERGREEN CO-OP MODEL: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITH A PLAN TO STABILIZE A COMMUNITY
The Evergreen cooperatives in Cleveland, Ohio was the story everyone wanted to hear at the opening session on Saturday Aug. 7, 2010 of the U.S. Federation for Worker Cooperatives conference in Berkeley.
Several video cameras - including PBS -- were rolling at the front of Krutch Theater as Ted Howard, executive director of The Democracy Collaborative at the University of Maryland, which helped to organize the cooperatives and the strategy along with the late John Logue founder of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center, spoke to an inspired audience of 270 worker cooperators from all over the U.S. and part of Canada. Also speaking was Medrick Addison, operations manager at Evergreen Cooperative Laundry.

Today was another amazing day of presentations at the ACE conference!....
Unlike other conferences that I'm used to attending, you don't have to choose from workshops at the Association of Cooperative Educators. There is only one track, and everyone is on the same one.
I actually ended up being very glad that it was arranged this way, else I might have missed out some very important information and stories.
