I'm Paul DeLapa, Program Coordinator for the Fellowship for Intentional Community, Art of Community Conference coming up soon, June 4-5, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I've been trying to line up a workshop leader on the topic of cohousing for many months now. At this moment we have no one. (Kathryn M. delivered a wonderful session last November at our conference in California.) I feel it would unfortunate not to have cohousing represented at this conference, especially since this event is being cosponsored by MidAmerica Housing Partnership, who are very involved in neighborhood and community development. I'm hoping you can put a call out to people you know who are involved and familiar with cohousing, and ask them to contact me if they are interested in delivering a short workshop (1 hr. 45 min.). Here's the description listed in our brochure: ---------- COHOUSING COMMUNITIES IN NORTH AMERICA Cohousing communities cluster private dwellings around a common house with shared facilities, fostering relationships while maintaining independence. Residents play an active role in community decision-making and community design. This workshop offers an overview of cohousing, including its roots and development in North America, and how some of them operate. ---------- The workshop could be taylored to the presenters experience and interest on the subject, so there's space to refine this workshop description. We have 28 workshops lined up for the weekend on various topics relevant to developing community (we're expecting about 400 participants). Here's a list of keynote speakers for the full group plenaries: KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Mayor Lee Clancey - 2nd term Mayor of Cedar Rapids. Maureen Warren - Fannie Mae foundation, Vice President of Housing & Community Development
