Prerequisite: The only prerequisite is an interest in the governance of co-operatives and non-profits. While the course will cover a wide range of theories in governance, economics, and psychology, all of these topics will be explained in simple, accessible language.

Target Audience: Anyone who is interested in governance, co-operatives and social economy organizations, or is on a board of directors.

@abrahms As far as I know you only have to give an email address to sign up, I can't vouch for the quality of the course (especially since it doesn't have reviews) but I will be taking it. And apparently a few folks for SBC will too, so we can try figuring out some sort of loose study group once the class starts.

@saltqueer Great, I don't really use discord, but I can give it a try if it is what everyone is using.

Let's see how many people we have and organize something that suits everyone.
