Hello communitarians!

I hope to see many of you at the National Cohousing
Conference<https://www.cohousing.org/cohoevents/2022-madison/> in
Madison, WI on August 26-28. If you’ve never attended a National
Cohousing Conference, it is a hub of connection, growth and
inspiration for newbies and experts alike. This year will be
especially meaningful as we haven’t gathered in person in 3 years.
Below are some links to information about health/safety, scholarships,
room sharing and more.

And the most exciting part…we’d like to extend  10% discount to
all new registrations that come from the listserv. If you register by
July
15<https://cohousingassociationoftheunite.regfox.com/2022-madison-wi-national-cohousing-conference>
using the code TEAMCOHO, you will receive 10% off your registration.
If you are a partner community, this discount will be in addition to
your partner discount. Consider becoming a partner to give each of
your members and explorers another $150 off conference registration
and a slew of other
benefits<https://www.cohousing.org/community-partner-program/>.

More conference information below. Hope to see you soon!
