Remaking the Economy in New Mexico

Click here to download accompanying slidesIn this season of “Remaking the Economy,” we will be highlighting on-the-ground examples of communities that have adopted principles and structures that encourage shared wealth development and foster vibrant, prosperous, and healthy communities.

This webinar on New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, in particular, highlights efforts in low-income communities and communities of color to develop new economic structures in the arts, the food industry, and beyond.

With a panel of community entrepreneurs, we look at a Zuni Pueblo art co-op start-up, an Albuquerque nonprofit that supports community-based food businesses, and an emerging statewide co-op development network. All of the panelists will share their lessons and provide rich insights into the work both in their presentations and in a question session.

On this webinar, you will hear from:

• Anzia Bennett, Executive Director, Three Sisters Kitchen, Albuquerque, New Mexico
• Keith Edaakie (Zuni Pueblo), President, Ancestral Rich Treasures of Zuni (ARTZ) Cooperative
• Sandra McCardell, Coordinating Director, Community Catalyst of New Mexico
