Caroline Murray

Caroline Murray was Executive Director of the Alliance to Develop Power (ADP) from 1993 to 2011. Based in Springfield, Massachusetts, ADP has generated $65 million in community-owned enterprises, which employ 125 people in living-wage jobs and has converted 1,400 units of at-risk housing into tenant-owned, permanently affordable co-op housing units. The group also operates United for Hire (created in 2001), a worker-controlled cooperative business, with $600,000 in sales in 2010, that provides on-the-job training and living-wage jobs with profit sharing for member-owners. Caroline recently left ADP to become Organizing Director of Rebuild the Dream.
