Member consultant
Delivers the service to the network
Every euro and every hour stays within the community. Projects grow, consultants build their path and the whole cooperative wins.
Everyone wins
The projects
Get low-cost strategic support, grow and professionalise.
The professionals
Members provide services through the network, building their path.
The cooperative
Gains operational capacity and, in future, external revenue.
Who can provide services
We always prefer to find professionals among our members, in areas such as communication, marketing, design, photography, management, human resources, finance, sales and operations.
If a project’s need isn’t met within the cooperative, or not at the quality sought, we can bring in new members.
Coordination and oversight
Coordination
Assesses needs · prepares budgets · selects professionals · follows up the work · evaluates results · reports to the Board.
⇆
Oversight
The Board of Directors validates professionals and monitors results. Operating rules evolve through internal decision.
A transparent model: coordination answers to oversight.

“The value we create stays within the community.”
