Are you curious about the cooperative model or actively planning to start one? Have you heard about cooperatives and wondered whether this model might work for your business? Join us to learn more at this in-person workshop: Cooperatives 101!

In this 2-hour workshop, cooperative founder and business coach Devra Gartenstein will cover the fundamentals of the cooperative model, legal structures, and next steps to organizing a cooperative business. Participants will also hear from additional resource providers, including those providing capital specifically for cooperatives, and then we'll break into an interactive group format where you can learn from other cooperatives about their journey.

Presentation topics will include: 

  • What a cooperative is

  • Types of coops

  • Why to start one

  • Coop legal structures

  • Conversion coops
