Public Relations & Publicity

Session materials from “Storytelling Time!” presented by Bronwyn Walls at NASCO Institute 2024. In this workshop, we'll discuss how storytelling is a tool for social change and we'll explore a storytelling framework that connects our own personal narratives to the social change work that we are embedded within in our co-ops and beyond. We'll then work together to develop and refine our public narratives related to the power of cooperation. P.S. The stories we create in this workshop can be used for member recruitment, fundraising, grant writing, education, and more! 

This is a form used by the Champlain Housing Trust (CHT) in Burlington and St Albans, VT to evaluate new applicants.

This is an archive of WestCo conference materials from 1979 to the present. WestCo is an annual conference for members of cooperatives in the Western United States and Canada. WestCo is a space for local cooperators to build community, attend educational workshops and social events, and celebrate their common interests and experiences.

Planning a regional conference is a significant undertaking that takes planning, delegation, and lots of work. These documents present some ideas that will help you think about how to tackle all the work in an efficient manner. For examples of previous regional conference materials, see the archive of WestCo materials here.

This handout was contributed by Michael Gregor of Kalamazoo Collective Housing for a workshop presented at NASCO's 2008 Cooperative Education and Training Institute.
