X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4><b>Save the Date! </b></h4><p>We are plea
 sed to announce that the 2017 <a href="http://east.usworker.coop/">Eastern 
 Conference for Workplace Democracy</a> (ECWD) will be held this June 09-11\
 , 2017 at <a href="http://www.fordham.edu/info/21454/lincoln_center_campus"
 >Fordham University Lincoln Center</a> in New York City in partnership with
  NYC Network of Worker Cooperatives.  Please save the date and circulate wi
 dely!</p><h1><b>About the Conference</b></h1><p>The ECWD is a biannual conf
 erence of nearly 400 people that provides practical tools\, networking\, an
 d strategies for worker-owners\, union members\, technical assistance provi
 ders\, community organizers\, and scholars. We support an economy that util
 izes cooperative and democratic organizational structures to support equita
 ble systems for exchanging goods\, services & products and stewardship of t
 he commons for mutual benefit by all. We believe that democratic workplaces
  are the fundamental building blocks that power our work towards economic\,
  social\, and environmental justice and solidarity.</p><h2>This Year's Them
 e</h2><p dir="ltr">This year’s conference theme of “Resist and Transform” f
 ocuses on the potential for the cooperative to be a tool for both resistanc
 e in these volatile times as well as a building block for transforming our 
 economy and society. Proposals on history\, case-studies\, theory\, and pra
 ctical skills are all welcome.</p><p dir="ltr">How is your workplace dealin
 g with the current political climate? How are you planning for the future? 
  What is important to your workplace or organization? To the movement local
 ly and beyond? To the sector(s) you operate in? What do we need to act on? 
 How do you plan to grow your business in this environment? What skills can 
 you share to grow the democratic ownership movement across boundaries?</p><
 h1><b>About the Location</b></h1><p>Over the past several years\, NYC has e
 xperienced an incredible growth in the number of worker cooperatives. On-th
 e-ground organizing and a City Council funded initiative that has provided 
 5 million dollars toward co-op development over three years have led to a s
 ignificant increase in the number of co-ops and an expanding array of suppo
 rt services. Therefore\, it is an especially opportune moment to hold the E
 CWD in NYC this year\, as many other cities around the the country begin ca
 mpaigns with their own city councils.  We are lucky to partner with NYC Net
 work of Worker Cooperatives which has been building a stronger worker coope
 rative community\, and with Fordham University Law School’s Economic Develo
 pment Clinic at their beautiful Lincoln Center campus to hold the conferenc
 e in the heart of NYC.</p><p> </p><h1><b>Support Our Cause!</b></h1><p>We a
 im to develop a conference that is affordable and accessible to as many peo
 ple as possible. We plan to expand translation & interpretation\, provide m
 ore convenient and engaging child care\, and offer financial subsidies for 
 those in need. Please consider an end-of-year donation! Businesses and orga
 nizations that donate qualify for our sponsorship recognition.</p><p> </p><

SUMMARY: Let’s Talk: Healthy Cooperative Communications\, from Conflict Res
 olution to Emotional Health
DESCRIPTION: As social organizations\, cooperatives experience the intimate
  nature of everyday democracy\, and this can often be difficult. The close 
 relationships and accountability inside co-ops expose underlying tensions b
 etween people while amplifying the inequities embedded in systems of oppres
 sion. Nevertheless\, cooperatives foster amazing opportunities to address p
 olarizing conflicts by embracing anti-oppression and collective liberation.
  When co-op members are encouraged to show up with honesty and directness\,
  engaged co-op leaders can bring together divergent opinions and diverse ex
 periences to deal with disagreement constructively.

SUMMARY: Introduction to Transformative Justice
DESCRIPTION: How can we confront these violations in our communities\, in w
 ays that support survivors of violence and also hold people who have caused
  harm accountable\, without bolstering oppressive criminal-legal institutio
 ns? The US Federation of Worker Co-ops\, Democracy at Work Institute and NY
 C Network of Worker Cooperatives recognize the acute need for cooperative e
 cosystems to have the skills\, support\, and analysis to violent cultures a
 nd elevate a culture of consent.

 talism” and its role in fueling violent cultures.<br />· Lay out the nuts a

  communities have garnered breathtaking momentum in building a movement for
  new frameworks of justice. Transformative Justice builds on the intentions

  /></a>Immigrant-led worker cooperatives have been a successful tactic for 
 migrant communities to build power\, build wealth\, and develop member-lead
 ers. However\, the recent political situation is a reminder that migrant wo
 rkers and other communities remain vulnerable to injustice and disempowerme
 nt. This is a call to action to extend protection and safety to all communi
 ties facing harassment and persecution in the workplace\, including all peo
 ple of color\, immigrants\, Muslims\, and people with disabilities. This se
 ssion will define what <span class="il">expanding </span><span class="il">s
 anctuary</span> means\, how this strategy has been utilized over time to cr
 eate safe and hate-free spaces for everyone\, in particular\, those being p

 rkplace\, thatś how we create <span class="il">Sanctuary</span> workplaces 
 as safe spaces. We will share a new resource guide that has been recently l

 where people can obtain information about their rights as worker-owners wit

 ganizations deal with conflict\, but in worker coops\, the challenges can s

  work through. Over a meal\, we'll share our experiences with conflict\, of

 haven't) and will have an opportunity to offer ideas and support around iss
 ues specific to our coops.</p><p>This worker-owner-only gathering will meet

 " /></a>Over the past year\, a critical mass on New York City-based worker 
 cooperatives have moved towards independence from their developers. Many ot
 her worker cooperatives are self-started ventures and have a limited connec
 tion to resources in our network. The road to self-sufficiency shouldn’t co
 me with unreasonable burdens for struggling businesses or a lack of connect
 ion to critical resources. In this session\, we will review the programs\, 
 services\, and resources that are currently available to worker-cooperative
 s navigating independence. We will also identify the gaps that currently ex
 ist in the ecosystem and identify ways of addressing them.</p>

 /a>Please join us for the final program of our research project\, Creating 
 Systems of Shared Benefits for the NYC Co-Op Community.</p><p>Over the past
  8 months we have been researching different systems by which communities a
 cross the globe have created mutually beneficial systems that help financia
 lly support and sustain their business communities. We explored ideas such 
 as a discount program\, loyalty programs\, collective bulk purchasing\, and
  others. We presented our initial research last December and since then hav
 e been interviewing co-ops across New York City to find out what kind of sy
 stems worker owners would like to see in our community. We will present our
  findings and our proposal for a pilot program.</p><p>We would love to have
  our community members present to continue to provide feedback and help us 
 shape a system that is truly reflective of the desires and needs or our NYC
  co-op community.</p><p>English-Spanish Interpretation and a delicious meal
  by NYC co-ops will be provided. Please let us know at least one week in ad
 vance if you would like childcare services. Please note that there is an el
 evator on site\; however\, the bathroom is not accessible as it is at the b

 cooperatives may not have one\, do not regularly update their manual\, or d
 o not adjust the manual to changing conditions in the cooperative. This may
  lead to various issues. We will discuss how your manual can be useful for 
 thinking through internal conflicts\, division of benefits and labor\, lead
 ership development and other topics.

SUMMARY: Foundations for Worker Co-op Series: Decision Making for Worker Co
 operatives
DESCRIPTION: In many worker cooperatives\, an elected board is empowered to
  make most governance decisions through a process outlined in the company’s
  by-laws. In this module\, we will learn how to facilitate governance meeti
 ngs in order to create\, assess and ratify proposals. Students will be intr
 oduced to democratic decision-making processes\, discuss the function of by
 -laws in a worker cooperative\, learn about meeting facilitation and differ
 ent models of democratic decision making and simulate the cooperative decis
 ion-making process using example scenarios.

SUMMARY: Foundations for Worker Co-op Series: Governance and Management
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this session is to begin identifying the manage
 ment and governance needs in a cooperative. We introduce participants to th
 ree distinct roles worker owners play as owners and policy-setters of a bus
 iness (governance)\, managers of a business (carrying out the policy)\, and
  workers in a business (engaging in the core operations).  We will be focus
 ing particularly on the distinction between governance and management. We b
 rainstorm decisions cooperatives have to make\, and introduce a “test” for 
 whether these decisions should be considered governance or management decis
 ions. In this session we provide examples of management and committee struc
 tures within cooperatives (e.g. task delegation components of a business th
 at help it run smoothly) and governance structures within cooperatives.
