Coho/US Staffing Changes

Barbara Bansenauer recently became Advertising Manager for Coho/US. Barbara, who lives at Songaia Cohousing, Bothell, WA, is available to better help meet the communication needs of cohousers, cohousing groups, property owners, as well as individuals seeking cohousing situations. You can email her at advertising [at] cohousing [dot] org

Neil Planchon has assumed the role of the National Tours Director. Neil, who lives in Swan’s Market, Oakland, CA, has been a long-time volunteer for Coho/US in a variety of capacities. We welcome his enthusiastic involvement as our tour program expands to meet more people’s needs with new tours in new locations. He’s particularly excited about the chance to help more people discover cohousing: up-close and personal.

Donna Freiermuth, Editor of Cohousing Magazine for over two years will be stepping down from her role with Coho/US. Her ongoing commitment to the cohousing movement is unwavering and her work in spearheading cohousing growth in Ventura, CA and the Los Angeles area is invaluable. The association is deeply appreciative of her many contributions and looks forward to the growing energy in Southern California.
