The Power of Cooperatives to Build Community Wealth

The Washington State Microbusiness Association will be hosting a panel discussion on cooperatives with national leaders such as Ted Howard, Alison Lingane, Shevanthi Daniel, Brett Jones and NWCDC’s Executive Director, Diane Gasaway.

Over the past few years, cooperative and employee-owned businesses have experienced an explosion of interest as proven strategies for creating and retaining good quality jobs, expanding equity and inclusion, and building opportunity and wealth in America’s communities.

Join this event where leaders from around the country will share compelling stories and action-oriented materials about the growing cooperative movement – and what it might mean for business development in Washington state.
