Hi Rob and all, 

I would like to add an additional strategy.  A national organization could
track the most important national and regional conferences and workshops
which should be addressing co-housing and work to get co-housing speakers
invited.  The national org could then find speakers from the greater
co-housing community who would be good representatives at these
conferences.  National meetings of ciy planners, low income housing
associations, housing architects, home builders etc could provide
co-housing advocates with access to local decision makers who make a great
deal of difference in the success and advancement of co-housing.
