The 2016 Worker Cooperative National Conference, hosted by The US Federation of Worker Cooperatives and The Democracy at Work Institute, was held this year in Austin, Texas, just blocks away from the Texas Capitol Building.

Presented August 12th, 2016 by Jerry Koch-Gonzalez of Sociocracy for All and the Sociocracy Consulting Group.

Thanks to a tip from Bruce Seifer, Matt went spelunking in the VEOC archives and emerged bearing a video tape from a 1985 forum on employee ownership at City Hall in Burlington! We'll be posting the rest of the forum to our Youtube channel soon, but, in the meantime, check out then-Mayor Bernie Sanders' introduction to the event:

On January 19th, the VEOC's board of directors staff gathered for the second edition of our Annual Meeting and Report to the Community at the State House in Montpelier. After duly electing our new set of officers and conducting other necessary affairs during our business meeting, we retired to a reception in Cedar Creek Room, where we highlighted the progress since we last gathered there in January of 2015.
