Webinar: Co-op Hour: Conversions to the Worker Co-op Business Model

Co-op Hour is the USFWC’s bi-monthly online, interactive gathering dedicated to exploring a specific topic within the worker cooperative movement, featuring worker-owners and experts in the field. This video features the Co-op Hour from February 2019, focused on CONVERSIONS.

What’s it like to convert your business to a worker-owned business? What do you workers need to know in order to successfully transition? We heard from three businesses about their experiences, and followed by Q&A and a discussion. We talked about specific needs for converted worker-owned businesses, challenges, successes, and the future of this rapidly growing piece of the worker co-op movement. Featuring:

Carolyn Edsell-Vetter, worker-owner at A Yard and a Half Landscaping Cooperative in Massachusetts
Matthias Scheiblehner, worker-owner at Metis Construction in Seattle, WA
Nicole Koch, worker-owner at Technicians for Sustainability in Tucson, AZ

Co-op Hour is an opportunity for members to connect, to learn from each other, and to delve more deeply into important topics to our community. This discussion and learning time is helpful for experienced worker-owners, co-op developers, or and newbies to the worker co-op movement alike.
