From July-August 2009
Tami has worked with food co-ops in Minnesota for over 15 years in a variety of capacities, including customer service and management. Over the last three years Tami has helped co-ops achieve their capital goals through member loans, Class C stock and member-owner shares.
Her services include:
- Planning and implementation of a member-owner loan and/or class C Stock campaign for expansions, new stores and startup co-ops.
- Staff trainings tailored to fit your needs, including What Is Membership?, Growing Your Member Base, Orienting Your Staff to their Role in Member Loan Drives, and Customer Service.
- Planning and implementing a member-owner equity drive and/or changing your existing member-owner equity structure.
“Our goal was to raise $1.5 million dollars in member investments as part of our $10.5 million expansion project. Tami attained this goal by successfully building a strong partnership between operational staff and the board of directors. The employee training program she developed also helped staff explain the concepts of member investment and its critical importance in cooperation.”
