Join Laird Schaub for a webinar unpacking the essential questions about 
membership in an intentional community — who, how, when, and why people join 
your group. 
While most cooperative groups do not discuss all these questions or even any of 
them, 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 price 
of ambiguity down the line.

Get clear on the membership questions your community should be asking now in 
this short, FREE webinar. Ultimately, it’s far cheaper to wrestle with these 
questions before you’re in trouble than to attempt to establish guidelines once 
you’re in the soup.

If your group already has agreements or at least a working understanding about 
how you want to handle these basic areas, great! If you haven’t gone there yet, 
you’ll be returning with homework from this session. 

So, here’s what we’ll address: 

        • What is it exactly that members are joining? 
        • What are the rights & responsibilities of a member?
        • What are the rules of engagement?
        • What is expected level of engagement of a member?
        • How do members want to recieve feedback?
        • How will conflict be resolved?
        • What are the exit paths for members?
