Cohousing-L Mailing List: MEMBER APPLYING TO BE PROJECT MANAGER

[David Bellin (dbellin]

The responses were interesting..... we all come via our own  
histories....

I was an early member of the Pacifica Cohousing group in North Carolina.

Well into the process, the architect/developer hired me as the Project  
Manager
for the development, because of my experience in construction and  
affordable housing.

We never experienced the problems some of the respondents fear....   
but I can also
say that there were no "reservations about...character and  
qualifications".  That is the
big red flag to me.

Otherwise, if you're all open, honest, and communicate, I actually  
think an argument
can be made that a group member will look out for your interests more  
carefully than
an outsider would!
