Training 4. Sweden on November 3rd - 4th 2008. SAVE THE DATE. Details to be announced soon.
Targeted trainings and workshops for brands, retailers and suppliers. These trainings will be offered by Organic Exchange upon request by an organization. These requests generally are focused on educating in-house executives and teams. Topics offered in open trainings will be offered in our targeted training along with custom designed trainings.
Project Consultancy. This service is focused on addressing the needs of brands and suppliers over the medium to long term. Those who want help building their whole organic cotton / sustainable textile roadmap or specific pieces of it. We will work to develop this directly with the organization.
General Member Services. Depending on your level of membership this would include consulting hours, tools (which include the annual Market and Farm and Fiber reports, certification and labeling guides) and sourcing services. OE Europe Staffing
Organic Exchange will use existing staff and compliment with key experts as needed. Kathleen Wood, Director of Program Integration, is leading the start up of this effort and will be hiring a EU Program Director in the first quarter of 2008. Marian van Weert will act as an Account Manager with brands, working 60% time on this effort.
Esther Verburg, Business Development Manager from MADE-By, will work closely with OE's Europe staff. And of course the effort will be supported by the great teams behind both organizations.
