Camille joined ICA because she believes in the potential of democratic workplaces to build power and narrow the wealth gap for communities of color. In the Metrics Coordinator role, she develops systems to collect and analyze information about the impact of worker ownership in the child and home care industries, as well as cooperative conversions in the Northeast and around the country. She also lends support to ICA’s data-driven communications, as well as to continued development of ICA’s wide library of resources on worker ownership. Prior to this role, Camille has worked in a variety of community organizations oriented around equity for women and people of color, as well as in an administrative role at ICA, prior to transitioning to ICA’s communications team. Camille holds a BA in English from Amherst.
I collect and work to interpret data about the impact of employee ownership in the range of industries and regions that ICA operates. I also help develop content and resources about cooperative conversions.
I’m inspired and motivated by all child care and home care worker-owners, and their stories. And I do love Democracy Brewing.
Nick Van Der Kolk’s work on Love & Radio, mostly non-linear character studies, is remarkable.
I was raised by a chef, so now a lot of my time is spent trying to recreate food that holds a candle to my childhood lunches. I like following events in gymnastics, tennis, and the dance industry. I love reading and writing of all kinds.
I work primarily out of the Northampton office, but you’ll catch me in the Boston office from time to time!
Although certainly not billed as a book on leadership, Ibram X. Kendi’s How To Be An Antiracist helped me think clearly about how much power policy has to produce equity in the spaces that matter in our lives, and how much power individuals have to advance policies in a democracy. There is a throughline here to worker ownership that has significantly impacted the way that I see the work we do at ICA. When workers have the ability to influence the policies in their workplaces, it naturally creates better jobs in industries where workers typically have little to no leverage.
