Hi everyone,


Happy Friday!


Next week CohoUS will be hosting our final event of our fall programming 
series, Cultivating Connections: Orienting New Members & Managing Resales.


Whether you’re finding new members to join a forming community, or an 
individual buyer to sell an open unit, cultivating community connections 
doesn’t end at marketing and recruitment. Once you find that new community 
member, how do you introduce them to your community agreements, values, and 
norms? What strategies can help ensure a seamless transition from new member to 
seasoned cohouser?


This session will be facilitated Dyan Wiley of Cherry Hill Cohousing (Amherst 
MA) and Lew Bowers, PDX Commons, (Portland OR), both members of the CohoUS 
Seniors in Cohousing Committee. They will share their insights on orientation 
strategies and practices to help maintain your community’s unique spirit for 
years to come. They will also cover strategies for guiding resales to bring in 
informed and engaged new residents right from the start.


The event will take place at 12pm MST on Tuesday, Nov. 18. It will be free for 
CohoUS members or $45 for non-members.
