The Co-operative
Councils Innovation Network is delighted to host our first conference in
Scotland, which reflects our national ambitions and aspiration of our network.
The conference, which is being hosted by Glasgow City Council, will provide
opportunities to exchange information and learning, and provides a major
opportunity to profile the work and achievements of Co-operative Councils.
In
addition to CCIN business meetings, the conference will include key speeches
from Cllr Archie Graham, Deputy Leader, Glasgow City Council; Cllr Andrew
Burns, Leader of City of Edinburgh Council and Chair of the CCIN; and Kevin
Rush, Head of Economic Development at Glasgow City Council. There will also be
workshops on cooperative approaches to economic development and tackling labour
market exclusion; developing the co-operative sector and devolving power and
changing organisational culture within councils.
