Below is an announcement for an all-day workshop on co-ops and web
marketing. This is being sponsored by the Illinois Institute for
Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University. (Please note that WIU
is in Macomb, but the workshop is being held in Rockford (close to the
Wisconsin line).
To make things really complicated, it's being held at Northern
Illinois University's Rockford campus.
Speakers are:
Bob Cohen (Ohio State University)
Paul Schuytema (Director of Community Development - Monmouth, IL)
Please register by May 7. Lunch will be provided. Sounds very hands-
on.
