Speakers: Sue Bennett and Tia Katrina Taruc-Myers

What do you get when you cross a worker cooperative with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit? A worker self-directed nonprofit! As the movement for economic and workplace democracy continues to grow, we believe it is important that nonprofit organizations also internalize and practice workplace democracy. We've put a fair bit of thought into our own organizational structure and culture, and now we are working to provide resources, advice, research, and a peer network to support worker self-direction in nonprofits everywhere. Watch the recording of our MCLE webinar on how workers in nonprofits can replace a disempowering hierarchy with collective control, distributing leadership roles to every worker, and the legal gray areas of worker self-direction. 

We apologize for the cut off recording! Because of technical difficulties, this activity is approved by the California State Bar for only 40 minutes of MCLE self study credit. Please use this log (https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/d...) provided by the State Bar of California to keep a record of your self study. (Attendance certificates are not provided for self study.)
