Mike Rowlands, CEO of long-time ASBN member Junxion Strategy, will be joined by Coro Strandberg, Canada's leading thinker on the role of purpose in business for this inspiring conversation about the evolution of purpose-based business, leading practices you can implement, and the potential of purpose to shape an economy that serves the common good.

Thursday, February 9, 3-4:30pm ET - Building a Community-Based Ecosystem for Manufacturing
| Co-Hosted with Manufacturing Renaissance and ReImagine Appalachia | Webinar

There is increasing national attention on how to rebuild U.S. manufacturing – and there are resources available at the federal level for this work. The challenge is whether manufacturing revitalization will be done using old models of development that concentrate wealth or new ones that build local resilience. ReImagine Appalachia, Manufacturing Renaissance, and the American Sustainable Business Network are partnering to highlight new opportunities for revitalizing our economy through manufacturing. New manufacturing in the region can and should be rooted in the local community, include strong rights for workers and use ownership models that build local equity.  

In this event we will discuss regional principles for manufacturing in the region including strategic vision, identify its component parts and develop follow up actions to help build this work in Appalachia.
