The CDCSB, in partnership with BerkShares, Inc. and the Berkshire Community Land Trust, has been awarded $10,000 from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to further work on the Community Supported Industry (CSI) initiative.
This event is the culmination of this year’s BerkShares Ambassadors program, a new initiative through BerkShares, Inc. aimed at facilitating a network of citizens empowered to be “community economists” – advocates for the locally-owned businesses and community banks that make up the fabric of our regional economy.
Following the presentations, audience members will be invited to ask questions of the students and join a conversation about business opportunities in the Berkshires. The event is free.
