Cohousing-L Mailing List: TCN Professional Seminar

[Zev Paiss (zpaiss]

Dear Cohousing Professional,

Details for the Cohousing Professional Seminar scheduled for Seminar May
4-6, 2000 are coming together nicely.

The audience of 50 or so participants is expected to consist of a
variety of professionals, including architects, builders, developers,
project managers and community members interested or planning to play
these roles. 

The presenters are all current or recent project managers on cohousing
projects.  We have received conformnation from John Abrams building
Island Cohousing in MA, Katie McCamant who has been a project manager on
several projects in the Bay Area, James Hamilton currently building a
project in Tucson, AZ and Jim Leach who will be giving more of a Keynote
address during one of our meals.

The overall design of the seminar will include two full days from 8-5
(Thursday and Friday) consisting catered breakfasts and lunches,
presentations with ample time for questions and answers, small group
discussions and free time.  Each 90 minute presentation would be 30-45
minutes of presentation with the rest of the time for Q & A. Saturday
will consist of an all-day tour of several completed cohousing
communities in the area.
 
The cost for the seminar depends on your relationship to The Cohousing
Network (TCN).  For non-members the registration cost is $300.  For
Professional members ($100) or corporate members ($250 & $500) the
registration is $255 (a 15% discount off the full price). For
individuals who are being sent by their cohousing group, AND the group
is an Group Members of TCN the cost is $150.

In the next month TCN will be able to accept Credit Cards for our
memberships, product and special event payments.  I will let you all
know when that is in place.

Let me know if you have additional questions and if you would like to
attend the Seminar.

Sincerely,

Zev Paiss
Executive Director
