I am writing to announce that I am no longer working at the Northwest
Cooperative Development Center and this email will soon be disconnected. If
you need to reach someone at NWCDC, please contact Executive Director Diane
Gasaway at di...@nwcdc.coop <mailto:di...@nwcdc.coop> or 360-943-4241

I have moved to Sacramento, where I am working as an independent consultant
for the California Center for Cooperative Development. My focus continues to
be food co-op development, although I am moving in a direction of focusing
my assistance on communities that are losing food access due to the economic
crisis. This includes development of neighborhood corner stores, as well as
the local production of food.

I am also putting a lot of energy into teaching related to my
recently-published book, ³Holy Cooperation!: Building Graceful Economies.²
More information about that is available at www.holycoop.wordpress.com. I
will be making a presentation on this subject online at noon (PST) on
Wednesday, February 18. Thanks to the Cooperative Development Foundation for
setting this up. Please register at www.cdf.coop. $10 registration fee goes
to pay for webinar and raise funds for CDF. I am also available to travel,
so please let me know if you have any ideas about groups or venues that
might be interested in faith-based cooperative economics.

Finally, I would like to announce that my blog at www.coopgeek.wordpress.com
addresses the essential question of 2009: "OK, things are bad and getting
worse. What can we do about that?"

If you would like to reach me, my main email address is coo...@gmail.com
and my mobile # is 916-216-5206. Please update your records.

In cooperation,
Andrew McLeod
