One of the defining features of cohousing is self-government. Our governance structure has three primary branches: the Board of Directors, Community Life, and Administration, with a variety of groups overseen by these committees. Community members are encouraged to join one or more governance groups, and we are proud to say that we have over 90% involvement. It is easy to find a group that fits your interests and abilities.
Major policy and financial decisions are made at the monthly meetings of the entire membership. Our decision-making process can be described as “modified consensus”; we strive for unanimity, but if it cannot be reached after addressing the concerns of the minority, we require 75% agreement to approve a proposal.
