员工与CoCo
ICC Staff
Employees administer the day-to-day operations of the organization. They don’t only work for the cooperative’s member-owners, they’re ICC members and have an elected board rep, too! Staff are split into three areas: Operations, Member Experience, and Maintenance. There are several staff members who lived in an ICC house while they attended undergrad!
Coordinating Committee (CoCo)
CoCo is made up of elected Vice President positions and functions under the idea that our member-owned cooperative is best controlled by member owners. Their goal is to make sure that the Board of Directors is empowered to do its job and that problems or projects get done by the necessary groups and committees. Each CoCo member heads their own committee and, often, several other teams, too.
Molly Byrd (she/her)
Molly has lived at the ICC for around 3 years, with signed contracts at a total of 4 different houses. This is her second year as Vice President of Education, and this year she intends on improving the Social Chair team, ensuring that New Member Orientation is as accessible and informative as it can be, and has a focus on conflict resolution & emergency response through our Committee on Conflict Resolution. Please direct any questions on education in the ICC or cooperative living to the email listed above.

Pink Flowers (she/her)
Pink Flowers is a Black trans artist, pleasure activist, and educator working at the intersection of performance, liberation, and collective healing. Her practice draws from ancient shamanic traditions, African trickster cosmologies, and the Brazilian Joker lineage of Augusto Boal, transforming theatre into a living laboratory for justice, imagination, and embodied freedom.
Pink integrates Theater of the Oppressed, Art of Hosting, Navajo Peacemaking, and anti-oppression frameworks into dynamic processes for group healing, conflict transformation, and civic engagement. Her work invites communities not just to talk about change — but to rehearse it.
She is the founder of the award-winning Falconworks Theater Company, a popular theatre collective dedicated to building civic capacity and advancing social transformation. Under her leadership, Falconworks has used performance as a tool to interrogate racial capitalism, economic democracy, and community power — earning recognition, awards, and citations for public service.
Pink has served as faculty at Montclair State University and Pace University and as a company member of Shakespeare in Detroit, bridging classical performance with contemporary political theatre. Across institutions and grassroots spaces alike, she is known for making complex systems visible — and for reminding us that joy itself is a revolutionary act.
Ron Nelson (he/him)
Ron is the staff member to contact for any and all contract questions. This includes contract signing and contract release request for both current and prospective ICC members. He advises Membership Committee on any necessary rule updates to make the contract signing process as smooth as possible, and trains all house presidents on contract signing processes. Ron supervises the Front Desk, which is staffed by ICC members from every house. The Front Desk answers all emails and phone calls regarding housing availability, general housing inquiries, merchandise sales, and rental of the ICC truck.
