Join long-time communitarian and community co-founder, Laird Schaub to get clear on the seven membership questions communities should address.
While most cooperative groups do not discuss all these questions, all groups should. The important thing to keep in mind is not so much what is the right answer—there are many of them—as it is to avoid the cost of ambiguity.
Join us for the 1-hour Seven Membership Questions Communities Should Address webinar and get clear on the questions that need to be addressed in order to have a robust membership process. You’ll also get a taste for our upcoming 5-week course, Designing a Community Membership Process.
Laird’s specialty is up-tempo inclusive meetings that engage the full range of human input, teaching groups to work creatively with conflict and diversity—all the while being ruthless about capturing as much product as possible. He lived for four decades at Sandhill Farm, an income-sharing rural community that he helped found.
Laird also helped found the Foundation for Intentional Community, where he served as the main administrator for 28 years. In 1987, he created a self-insurance fund for healthcare among income-sharing communities called PEACH (Preservation of Equity Accessible for Community Health) that he ran for 22 years.
In addition to his expertise in community living, he’s parlayed his passion for good process into a consulting business focused on cooperative group dynamics, styled CANBRIDGE (Consensus And Network Building for Resolving Impasse and Developing Group Effectiveness), since 1987.
