Being well-known for its many cooperatives, Greenbelt frequently welcomes visitors who wish to learn more about coop businesses. On behalf of the Greenbelt Cooperative Alliance, Leta Mach recently helped arrange two such visits. On May 11, visitors came from the National Cooperative Business Association, Cooperative League of the USA (NCBA/CLUSA) and on July 9 the Bermuda director of Economic and Cooperative Development toured Greenbelt.
Both visits began with a discussion of co-op practices, opportunities and challenges as Greenbelt co-op representatives shared their experiences. Participants then visited and learned more about the Greenbelt Consumer Co-op & Pharmacy, MakerSpace, the Greenbelt Federal Credit Union, the New Deal Café, Greenbelt Nursery School, the Greenbelt News Review and Greenbelt Homes, Incorporated (GHI).
