Who will get the most out of this event?
This conversation is for anyone working within institutions, organizations, communities, agencies, or enterprises who are seeking to learn from or share wisdom on the success of cooperative models.
For many years, organizers in the cooperative community expanded access to the funding, knowledge, practices, and policies needed for these models to thrive. If you’re looking to go even deeper and build practical skills, you should also register for BRED’s Co-Op Jumpstart being hosted at Impact Hub on Saturday, March 8, 10am-4pm.

Event Context
In 2025, Impact Hub Baltimore celebrated 10 years of building community and driving progress in Baltimore City. Throughout the year, we will elevate the people and innovations that have shaped where we have been and where we are going next.
The Network Breakfast series will mobilize thought partners across our network that represent the institutions, organizations, entrepreneurs, and community leaders committed to building civic wealth.
These events will build insights and relationships that spark intentional systems change. Our dynamic network of leaders will share innovative models that demonstrate our ability to move past the status quo and build more effective, equitable outcomes. We will engage in dialogue around abundance mindsets, cooperative models, community redevelopment, and local procurement.
Participants will leave feeling more informed and inspired. They will also be empowered to ground their decision-making in the pragmatic advice and lived experience of small business owners and local leaders. Discussions will be tailored to surface what is true, what is possible, and what can be done to alleviate barriers and expand opportunities for growing civic and community wealth.
