Stage 5: Post-Open Startup Organizing
JQ Hannah, FCI
Startup organizing doesn’t end at the grand opening of your co-op's retail grocery store - the Vision wasn’t just to open the doors, but to build a stable, successful business that will be around to serve your community for years to come. This final stage is about the critical work it takes to transform your fledgling store into an established food co-op. There are deeply important roles for the Board, the GM, the member-owners, and trusted advisors in getting to this Stage of development. This session will explore what we know so far about this newly identified, post-open development Stage and how to navigate it.
