SUMMARY:Reset: A New Public Agenda for the Arts – conference
DESCRIPTION:BCCM CEO Melina Morrison is speaking in an in-conversation panel on A Fair Deal for Artists: winning the economic rights of cultural workers on Friday\, 12 November. \nThere’s no doubt that the arts and cultural sector is facing a crisis in Australia. After years of cuts\, the gig economy\, undermining of the public and democratic value of the arts\, and the ever-widening gap between haves and have-nots\, the sector has been slammed by the pandemic\, with long-term consequences set to last years. \nThe way out of this mess cannot be incremental tinkering\, but rather a transformative reset of policy and advocacy – a bold new public agenda for the arts. \nHow do we return arts and culture to their rightful place in public policy? What would public reconstruction of the arts look like? How could we create a fairer deal for artists and arts workers? What kind of new ‘policy imaginary’ can place arts and culture at the heart of a healthy\, diverse\, inclusive\, and participatory democracy? \nReset: A New Public Agenda for the Arts offers two days and nights of thinking and discussion about how the arts and cultural sector could work to break out of the current impasse through a radical reorganisation of cultural practice and policy. \nPresented by: Arts Industry Council of South Australia and Reset (Flinders University\, University of Adelaide\, and University of South Australia)\, in association with the Don Dunstan Foundation. \nThe conference takes place online and in-person in Melbourne.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Co-op registry management - for member engagement and investment-readiness
DESCRIPTION:Invitation only – BCCM member webinar \nA one hour webinar covering: \n\nThe role of digital registry management in engaging members and raising and managing capital in co-ops\nCase studies from the Co-operative Farming pilot project and NZ co-ops.\n\nJoin experienced share registry provider Syndex and the BCCM for the launch of a new partnership aimed at supporting Australian CMEs member and share registry functions. \nDetail\nCo-ops and mutuals are increasingly large and complex organisations and require professional member reporting\, communications\, managing member registries and rebate/dividend distribution processes to engage and retain members. In addition\, relying on paper-based administrative systems can be a barrier to liquidity in member investments and to raising new capital by way of shares\, debentures or Co-operative Capital Units (CCUs). \nThrough the Co-operative Farming program\, BCCM worked with software provider Syndex to pilot a registry solution that helps to take the ‘admin pain point’ away from the running of Australian agricultural co-operatives and pave the way for full utilisation of co-op securities. Syndex have worked with co-ops in New Zealand for a number of years and were able to tailor their offering to the Australian co-op context of Co-operatives National Law. Syndex is now pleased to bring a range of co-op informed digital registry solutions to the Australian CME sector. \nThere will be time for Q&A with Kate Hage and Jamie Hall from Syndex. \nPlease email the BCCM to attend this member webinar.
