There are several membership levels. They also sell publications. And have 
professional newsletters with significant fees — one with legal advice based on 
recent decisions. 

The way to build an association, the association would probably have to be 
conceptualized as something more general that includes cohousing and encourages 
other condos to become more like cohousing. Several years ago I made a 
fledgling start at a newsletter called “Building Community.” The marketing 
proved too costly to be feasible.
