Under the hood of cooperative culture
Hosted by St, Mary's University
May 19, 2026 2:30 pm–May 19, 2026 4:30 pm
Hear from Christie Lam, senior cooperative consultant at The ICA Group (who helped Big Duck convert into a cooperative in 2021), and Ally Dommu, director of service development, as they share practical lessons on building cooperative systems, decision-making, navigating disagreement, and transparency.
For practitioners and worker-owners, this session will explore how these practices shaped one co-op’s internal culture and influences how it communicates its brand, sharing a unique perspective into how principles meet reality.
