Benefits to Village Coordinators

Feature – People in the village with ecological, beautification, historic renovation and creative economic initiatives, etc. are coordinated by a network of facilitators called the Local Coordination Circle.  Coordinators, such as business coaches and healing practitioners, grow rosters of clients through collaborative marketing and mutual referrals among entrepreneurs.

Benefits – Reduced marketing costs.  Opportunities to earn part-time income.  

Feature - Local Coordination Circle participants can choose to become affiliates of QUEEN EAST Agency.  QUEEN EAST Agency affiliates ask client organizations to become members of an alliance that supports local entrepreneur and volunteer participation in a village.  Affiliates represent local entrepreneurs to provide alliance members with necessary services. 
Entrepreneurs and agency participants earn part-time income. 
Benefit - Your operating costs are distributed across a larger roster of clients.  This produces balanced growth and local resiliency while neighbours enjoy greater quality of life.   

We aim to achieve greater local efficiency and sustainability through coordination of social, educational and economic activity within the area.  This complex level of local organizing was not possible before without development and our ability to use on-line tools.

Success of a network of Coordination Circles is measured based on how well we become sustainable as a community, share effective practices, communicate relevant facts, and build morale.

And as Local Coordination Circle participants there are many other soft benefits that all enjoy:

Feature – Coordinators are engaging entrepreneurs that show qualities of leadership.  Entrepreneur Circle participants are learning to find the necessary resources, engaging others in their enterprise, and developing skills necessary for collaboration and communication.

Benefit – Support flows to entrepreneurs with projects that truly enhance the lives of others.

Feature – Coordinators are gathering local youth who show qualities of leadership, to learn from, and develop further amongst elders and entrepreneurs

Benefit – We address the local requirement for future leaders, something regular democracy has not achieved.

Feature – Coordinators are engaging local elder’s from varied backgrounds. Elders are encouraging entrepreneurs and youth aged 12-29 to develop competence in planning and implementing creative, heart-felt initiatives.  We want to have an abundance of village elders.

Benefit – Individual elders need only assist or mentor an entrepreneur or youth when it ‘feels right’.

Feature – Coordinators are showing circles how to collaborate as a neighbourhood, and then with other neighbourhoods. The Coordinator Circles and other circles are compiling directories of individual resources and objectives, and identifying the neighbourhood’s shared assets and overall objectives.

Benefit – As neighbours we become more aware of resources.

Feature – Local capacity for sheltered studios and cottage industry production is developing so that under-employed people are paid to provide social, cultural, educational, business and ecological entrepreneurs with services.

Benefit – More of us are able to contribute to the neighbourhood so as to benefit and prosper.

Feature – Coordinators are facilitating neighbourhood objectives and how organizations fulfill their objectives by outsourcing to local entrepreneurs.

Benefit – Neighbourhoods acquire greater capacity to respond quickly to opportunities for improved social, educational, economic and ecological development.

Feature – Money and energy gradually moves from goals and strategies to mutually fulfilling business activities that enhance the lives of the total population.

Benefit – We experience greater abundance, ease, fulfillment and belonging within our resourceful, responsive, and ecologically harmonious areas of the city.
