Run by farming families\, the co-operative has a strong commitment to the welfare of their animals and the environment. This is the story of how you can go from the edge of disaster to creating a business direction the next generations will be inspired to follow. \nJoin journalist Pete Lewis as he talks to Stuart Crosthwaite\, Chairperson of Mountain Milk Co-operative about their co-operative farming journey. \n\nWatch on demand \nPart 2: roundtable – Why do some co-operatives succeed while others fail?\nWednesday\, 1 July 2020\n8.15 pm – 9 pm AEST – Roundtable discussion \nJoin journalist Pete Lewis and our farmer panel as they discuss and explore the conditions and events that impact the rise and fall of agricultural co-operatives. \nOur expert discussion panel comprises of: \n\nStuart Crosthwaite\, Chairperson – Mountain Milk\nSean Cole\, Chief Executive officer – CCW Cooperative Ltd\nMark Kebbell\, Executive Officer – Dairy Farmers Milk Co-Operative\nMelina Morrison\, Chief Executive officer  – BCCM\n\nWatch on demand \nJoin Pete Lewis for an inspiring interview series as he explores the journeys of some of Australia’s most interesting and successful co-operatives.

SUMMARY:An introduction to Mutual Capital Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Free webinar for BCCM Members \nLed by Peter Hunt\, Managing Partner\, Mutuo \nThis briefing provides an opportunity to hear about Mutual Capital Instruments in a way that sets this development in context and gives you the information you need to understand what MCI are\, and how they are likely to work. \nThe presentation is set out in eight sections\, which lead you through the story of MCI and how they can help to improve the business environment for mutuals. We examine how they actually work\, and the sort of thought process that you might apply if you are considering issuing. We then look at some international examples of mutuals that have issued this type of capital already. We briefly describe what the legal changes mean for your mutual and talk about how best you might approach communicating these constitutional changes to your members. Then we will look at the options for different types of MCI and finally say a few things on the potential market for MCI. \nBCCM members are entitled to access this program free of charge. \nPlease contact BCCM to register for this webinar and to access past event videos in the members’ section of this site.
