We had a great time at @SOCAP#SOCAP24 this year bringing co-ops to the dialog of impact investing. Co-ops truly address "ESG" - Environmental, Social, and Governance - by putting people before profit and people in charge, democratically. #gocoop
We heard many pathways to action for systems change throughout #SOCAP24, during panels, workshops, & conversations. We're looking forward to our final day at SOCAP24, when we can develop a plan of action to extend our conversations, relationships, & trust beyond the event.
Join us! There's still time to register for the upcoming Toolkit Implementation program. We're working with a great slate of speakers for this training from across the US from different co-op sectors. We'll cover cooperative business, law, and financing
