Termin verpasst? Software zu spät geliefert? Kein Geschäft mehr zu machen? Das ist das eine Extrem. Oder ist es bei Ihnen genau andersherum: Alle Termine gehalten, immer pünktlich geliefert, doch dafür Teams im Stress und Qualität/Architektur im Keller? Im Vortrag lernen Sie, solche Risiken mit dem "Classes of Service"-Konzept in Kanban zu managen und die Arbeit für Ihr Team angenehm zu gestalten.
In our daily lives, we engage in a variety of community environments. At work, at
home, on vacation—wherever we may be, we can be engaging in and with a group.
These communities may consist of our co-workers, neighbors, family, or another
gathering of individuals with a common connection.

10 Ways to Help the Co-op Grow
1. 10 Ways to Help Yakima Food Co-op Become a Reality
As a community-owned store, a co-op is organized and financed by its member-owners. The Yakima Food Co-op Board has laid
the groundwork for a 4000-sq foot storefront in the downtown Yakima area. When 350 community members invest as store own-
ers, we will seek a location for the store. At 500, we’ll contract a market study. At 750+ members, we’ll launch a member loan cam-
paign and prepare to open the store. Right now we have fewer than 100 member-owners. To move on to the next phase, we need
everyone’s help to reach 350 members. Here’s how to help:
1. Become a Co-op member-owner TODAY. If you’re serious about bringing a food co-op to Yakima, now is the time to make the
member-owner investment. In order to move on to the final phases of financing the project, the community must demonstrate that
there’s enough demand to keep the store open. Please consider becoming a member if you have not already done so. Payment options
and low-income discounts are available.
2. Tell your friends. Talk to your friends about Yakima Food Cooperative. It doesn't need to be a serious discussion or sales pitch. It
can be as simple as starting a conversation by telling a friend you became a member-owner, what you knoe about the project, and
why you're interested. Don’t forget to point them toward our website (yakimafood.coop) and Facebook page.
3. Consider throwing a "Co-op and Company" house party. This is a flexible format that allows you to have any kind of party you
want for whomever you think might be interested in learning more about the Co-op project. A board member will be on hand to help
answer questions about the Co-op's mission and planning.
4. Join our Community Partner Program. Values-based businesses are invited to support development by offering a discount to Co-
op member-owners; donating a gift certificate, service, or product; carrying Co-op Member-Owner Agreements in your place of busi-
ness; or sponsoring/hosting a Co-op event. Partnerships should benefit everyone involved. We welcome your creative ideas for collab-
oration!
5. Join the Board of Directors or a committee. Board meetings are the second Tuesday of each month.
6. Order through our online market. Once a month, members and non-members can order delicious, locally-produced items online.
Orders are picked up on the third Wednesday of the month at 901 Pasta.
7. Join the "street team.” We are visiting business to distribute Member-Owner Agreement Brochures, and we can use your help to
cover ground in Yakima and outlying areas.
8. Join the circle of producers. As we partner with Ellensburg, we are building relationships with producers in our region to increase
demand for and access to locally-produced goods. We would love to speak with anyone who is looking to sell their products to resi-
dents in our region.
9. Join the Advisory Council. If you have relevant experience but cannot participate on the board or committees, consider offering
your expertise on an occasional basis.
10. Make a donation. Every dollar helps fund membership, outreach, and fundraising activities!
