Dear , 

Remaking the Economy: The Exciting Second Season!

REMAKING THE ECONOMY IN NEW MEXICO

Thursday, October 17, 2019 at 2:00 pm EST 

We are headed into a brand-new era in so many ways as NPQ resumes its webinar series on how to build community wealth. This season we highlight on-the-ground examples of communities that have adopted principles and structures that encourage shared wealth development, linking that to vibrant, prosperous, and healthy communities. 

The first in this season webinar focuses on New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, where we highlight efforts in low-income communities and communities of color to develop new economic structures in the arts, the food industry, and beyond. With a panel of community entrepreneurs, we will look at a Zuni Pueblo art co-op start-up, an Albuquerque nonprofit that supports community-based food businesses, and an emerging statewide co-op development network. All of the panelists will share their lessons and provide rich insights into the work both in their presentations and in a question session.

Titled REMAKING THE ECONOMY IN NEW MEXICO, the webinar begins with a brief interview of Alvin Warren (Santa Clara Pueblo), who works as a program officer for the Kellogg Foundation in New Mexico. Following the interview, NPQ Senior Editor Steve Dubb will facilitate a panel with three expert speakers: Anzia Bennett, Director of Three Sisters Kitchen, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Sandra McCardell, Coordinating Director, Community Catalyst of New Mexico; and Keith Edaakie, President, Ancestral Rich Treasures of Zuni (ARTZ) Cooperative.

This webinar will explore:

• The rise of co-ops in New Mexico and the development of a co-op ecosystem, including exploring why co-ops have resonated among New Mexico’s Native American communities.
• The development of a support system for community-based food businesses in Albuquerque and beyond, centered on communities of color, especially.
• Identify points of leverage (including for policy change) that are being used to advance these practices.
• Uplift where shifts in thinking, practice, and culture are needed to alter economic structures.
• Lift up areas where New Mexico’s experience might contribute to the broader national conversation about how to address economic inequality.

Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, board member, or engaged in community-based organizing, this webinar will provide you with real-life examples and lessons learned that can inform your work in your own community.
