About the event

A worker co-op focused session around the systems and processes we use to run them. How the Members get their hands on the shared levers of power, demystifying every day and extraordinary planning and decision-making processes.

This is our first webinar, run by Mark Simmonds from our member learning group as a pilot for future member only webinars.
