Welcome Joe Marraffino!

We're happy to say Joe Marraffino has agreed to come aboard as DCP project coordinator. Welcome Joe!

For the last seven years Joe has worked for cooperatives within the Arizmendi Association in the Bay Area, first as a baker and then later doing financial support for members and incubation of new worker cooperatives. He is the author of american.coop, a blog whose goal is to "assemble a contemporary history of the worker cooperative movement in the United States." He and the Data Commons Project are a great match, and we look forward to working together!
