To get a taste of Will's early involvedment in #EmployeeOwnership check out this video of Will speaking at the "Progressive Entrepreneurship Forum" organized by then #BTV Mayor #BernieSanders in 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTpmcJCAGn8

Nice article in the local #Brattleboro paper on the architecture firm that converted to a #workercoop in September with my organization's assistance: https://www.reformer.com/business/our-succession-plan-austin-design-carries-on-in-employees-hands/article_d9c8b1d0-4fe7-11ed-8b9d-67f9bc00456e.html

It was an 8-way race for four seats, so it could of gone any number of ways, but glad to have a solid #coop movement advocate in that perch... :)
