One of the most interesting cooperatives we've spoken to at the @CoopAlberta conference is @CalgaryMemorial who supports its members with everything involved with end-of-life planning, including more affordable funerals via trusted, locally-owned funeral homes. #coops #community

Advice for new co-operatives: "Understand the balance between community and business...Yes, the community really pulls us together and is that heritage piece...but [your co-op] can be just as strong as a business."
@SarahLaudin - Cooperative Flower Network @CoopAlberta

Enjoying the @CoopAlberta conference so far! Thanks to @CalgaryCoop, @_Cooperators and all sponsors for making this day happen #coops #community

GREAT READ! Our COO @JeffHoffart recently met with Tom Cledwyn to discuss the new TED-housed movement (& book), #InfectiousGenerosity. The idea is that through the power of the internet, small acts of thoughtfulness can spread to change lives at a scale never experienced before.

[Jeff Hoffart @JeffHoffart]

Just had an eye-opening chat with @tomcledwyn from @TEDTalks about the transformative power of #infectiousGenerosity and to discuss how our #TechForGood platform @DoSomeGoodCA is shaping a brighter future! 💡 We had a fantastic conversation about ways to #amplify goodness and the roles #AI and #Authenticity play. Tom is super smart and has a very kind heart; I mean…did you know Tom once donated his kidney to a stranger? Talk about inspiring! 💪

Our team at Do Some Good cares deeply about impact and I’m proud of the innovative work we're doing to fuel this movement! It’s clear that Tom and I (and our teams) share similar values, missions and a passion for impact, and I can’t wait to see how we’ll collaborate to amplify generosity together.

I can't recommend @TEDchris' 'Infectious Generosity' enough—it's a total game-changer! Dive into their site and grab a copy of the book; it's a transformative read that instantly uplifted me. I am hopeful and optimistic for the future and excited to continue to contribute in “reclaiming a healthier Internet, with infectious generosity playing a starring role”.

Join us in spreading kindness! Visit https://t.co/rI64T51lOF and https://t.co/xloCLWiGYs to share stories of goodness and get involved. Together, we can make a difference!

Last week, I was honoured to speak with @dmlcomm  of @CUbroadcast at the #wcuc2023. During the segment, I speak about the the importance of #CreditUnions (or any business) sharing stories about who they are (values) and the impact they make. More specifically, I speak to the importance of #Authenticity and how companies can empower those they support to be brand ambassadors in helping to share the impact they are making.
