September 10 at 1 pm ET - Virtual Event
A “pollinator” is a self-financing enterprise committed to boosting local business. Some pollinators are for-profit businesses, some are nonprofits, but all allow a community to undertake one or more of five key economic development functions — planning, purchasing, people, partnerships, and purse — with far greater efficacy and at a substantially lower cost than typical, taxpayer-funded programs.
Discover 28 models of pollinator enterprises highlighted in Michael Shuman’s book, The Local Economy Solution. Find out how communities can deploy these models to grow local jobs and prosperity while avoiding dependency on government grants or charitable contributions.
Presented by Michael Shuman, local economist, author, and American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA) board member.
