Stacey:

Extemely impressive. Now I have no doubt as to your ability to lead a team of experts in sustainability technology in getting grants, the converting to employee/worker owned profitable enterprises. The models are Semco and Mondragon Cooperative Corporation. See: Semco:

Transition to justice, harmony, productivity, and right living:

“It's understandable, isn't it, that workers who come of age in an autocratic, authoritarian, paternalistic environment become reflections of it. It took some time for Camarão to adjust to the innovating, democratic, participative atmosphere at Semco.”
