Conference August 14-16, Virginia
Last minute registration is still open for the 2009 National
Cohousing Conference on June 24-28 at the University of Washington in
Seattle. This
conference is the venue for those who already live
in
cohousing, who are currently growing or seeking a community, and
professionals
serving cohousing communities to learn new ways to grow community.
National Cohousing Conferences are also the ideal place for
newcomers to learn about cohousing - whether you are exploring the idea of
living in
community or a public official trying to understand how to encourage
community-
oriented development. Besides, the people who attend Coho/US Conferences
love
them! Come to the 2009 National Conference and see the
power of
community for yourself. With more than 50 program offerings - featured
speakers,
workshops, seminars, and tours-there's something for everyone! Before the
conference, you can choose from the largest selection of tours and workshops
ever. For more info and link to registration: http://www.cohousing.org/conference

Community Event in Mid-2010 -- Coordinator Job Available
The FIC is currently planning to put on a large, 3 day
community
conference in the San Francisco Bay area in May or June of 2010. We envision
that
this conference will provide participants with a taste of the fruits of
community, useful
tools to plant more seeds of community and sustainability wherever they are,
and
the inspiration to tend the community garden through heat, drought or flood.
We are
looking for a conference coordinator for this event, to begin working with the
FIC
immediately on planning, budgeting, and creating a cohesive core team.
Compensation is based on a profit-sharing model.
