The Ace Institute: Crossroads: Choosing Cooperation

Cleveland, OH at the Downtown Marriott at KeyCenter. Keynote speaker, David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy and The Great Turning and the co-founder of YES! Magazine. Korten’s message is that tomorrow’s economy rests with entrepreneurial cooperators and collaborators devoted to creating a better life for all through locally based and community-oriented enterprises. Other Institute presentations will include the ground breaking partnership between the United Steel Workers and MONDRAGON; worker co-ops that are revitalizing Cleveland’s University Circle area; the ability to build assets through shared ownership; raising the bar in co-op governance, and more. New this year, the institute will carve out time for attendees to discuss where co-op development can go and what educational resources are needed to get there. Registration will be available on www.ace.coop, by early March.
