2010 Events & People

in

Grow. Connect. Engage. More than 50 program offerings provide the info and tools you need. With 356 attendees in 2009 (a 35% increase over 2008) and perhaps even more in 2010, you can network with the leading people in the cohousing movement. These leaders have created one or more cohousing communities, have written books, have conducted research, offer cohousing goods and services, and are the people who are most willing and able to help you succeed.
