This month we will be learning from Emiliano Espinosa about his project Coops to Co-Ops in rural Maryland.  Here is a draft of the Case Study that Emiliano will be sharing: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MDJ5rx9c904mLncYr6onBiWOqxk16Y-9bEul3mp7CbE/edit?usp=sharing.   During our initial meetings the group expressed interest in helping each other craft our respective development stories in to case studies that could be used to enhance knowledge about ABCD & Rural communities.  We are very thankful for Emiliano and his willingness to write up his experience and share it with us!

We had such a great time unpacking Emiliano's case study that we are going to do a follow up conversation in September focused on two questions - How do you cast and assure a citizen-driven vision upfront and how to retain that vision through a leadership transition.  These questions are both focused on the Ownership Principle.  We have created a google document for those interested in this conversation to share thier insights.  Here is the link to the shared document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ooKr-5fCE4zA4K79oa_QWnEiRNlZaYqWSqEv78E8qg/edit?usp=sharing
