This presentation from the Consumer Co-op Management Association (CCMA) 2018 Conference in Portland, OR shares strategies from efforts to measure and communicate impact, both at the individual food co-op level and the regional level through a federation of co-ops. Last year, Central Co-op (WA) hired a firm to evaluate how it benefits its community. The resulting Local Impact Study revealed outcomes even greater than expected, enabling the co-op to communicate its impact for its members and the wider community through meetings, public events, publications, and social media. On a regional level, an informal network of food co-ops in New England commissioned a similar study ten years ago as part of its effort to understand their collective impact. This report was a revelation for participating co-ops, demonstrating impact far beyond expectations. This provided a foundation for shared visioning and incorporation as a formal secondary co-op of food co-ops focused on shared marketing and educational initiatives, peer collaboration, and sourcing projects to support mutual success. Today, the Neighboring Food Co-op Association collects impact data on an annual basis, working with interns from a local University to compile data and make the case for the contribution of food co-ops to a more inclusive economy.

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

BONNIE: This is our timeline—but our timeline depends upon YOU
We are a diverse group of non-profit leaders, and business community, young energetic, etc.
1) The STORE! 2) Owner of a cooperatively run local business, a member-owned and member-controlled business that operates for the mutual benefit of all members. You have a voice in how the store is run. 3) If the Co-op does well, You Do well! The Co-op’s profit is returned to its member-owners in proportion to the amount of business each member has conducted with the cooperative. Cooperatives keep money, jobs and profits in the local community. 4) Co-op ownership means putting your dollars where your values are: quality food for our community , healthy communities (Vision 2020), creating jobs, and supporting local farms and businesses. 5) You receive specials from local businesses who support this initiative.
