Jill Bamburg, MBA, will speak at the Annual Cooperative Conference. Bamburg is a co-founder and current director of Curriculum Development for Brainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI), a graduate school at Pinchot committed to sustainable business.
She has served in both faculty and administrative capacities at BGI since 2002. The institute is an alternative to the traditional business school model for students who want to integrate their values about social justice and environmental sustainability into their education.
Don’t forget about our keynote speaker Dame Pauline Green! The first woman president of the International Co-operative Alliance will address a joint session of the Annual Cooperative Conference and Purchasing Cooperatives Conference on September 9.
Green was instrumental in consolidating the cooperative movement in the United Kingdom. She effectively lobbied for innovative co-op legislation, and played a key role in launching a wave of new cooperative development in the country.
Be inspired and challenged as Dame Green explores how cooperatives can gain the global recognition that the size and reach of the movement deserves!
