Plenty! We attended the Green Today, Jobs Tomorrow conference in Lansing on May 11, where we met representatives of countless non-profits, government agencies, and Green businesses, including keynote speaker Van Jones. In the meantime, we've also finalized more of the CBE Speaker Series. The next event is Fresh Food Grocery CBE in Inner-City Neighborhoods: What Can We Learn From Philadelphia? on May 28 at 11250 E. Jefferson in Detroit, the site of the former Farmer Jack which is slated to become the home of a new cooperative grocery store; registration is 6-6:30 pm, and the event runs until 8pm. If you're interested in the rest of the series, we've posted the updated schedule. |

We've returned from two productive days at the Ohio Employee Ownership Center conference. Deborah Olson and several C2BE members were able to meet privately with Mikel Lezamiz of the Modragon Cooperative Corporation for several hours, where we learned a great deal about the detailed history and mechanics of the MCC. We were also able to pick up quite a bit of information about the Evergreen Cooperative Laundry, the lynchpin of an emerging network of cooperatives in Cleveland's University Circle, and learn quite a bit about the Small Business Association's and USDA's loan programs for small businesses. It was a great time, and we look forward to building on what we learned. |
