-- HOW TO REGISTER --
Register through TCCN to get our deeply discounted group preregistration rate of $20 (otherwise, $55 early bird, or $65 standard.) Includes access to recordings afterward.
Here's how the two-step process works.
Apologies for the prior broken link to PayPal - the
link should work for you now!
FIRST STEP, you register with TCCN, which includes paying $20 via PayPal (you don't need an account) and filling out our Google Form (scroll down) so we know where to send the coupon code.
Within a day or two of our receiving both of these notifications, we will email you the coupon code.
SECOND STEP, you go to the CohousingUS conference registration page, select the $55 conference ticket (or $65 after Feb 15), fill in your info--name, address, email address, etc; put the coupon code in the appropriate box and click APPLY. This applies the code and you should see Zero Dollars ($0) due (because you already paid via TCCN.)
Use the auto-fill for your contact info including email address using the checkbox, click to submit, and Cohousing US will email you the info about logging on. KEEP THAT EMAIL - That email has your specific log-in info that you will need to enter the online conference on Sat., Feb. 20.
-----
There is a limited number of discounted registrations. First come, first served. Avoid disappointment by registering today.
Join CohousngUS in a jam-packed day for the person exploring being a part of a start-up cohousing community, or who is wondering what to look for when choosing an existing community.

TCCN Board statement on confronting white supremacy
We, the board of Twin Cities Cohousing Network, have been meeting to talk about and process what the killing of George Floyd and the world-wide anger and opportunity for global change means to us and to Twin Cities Cohousing Network. We want to listen, respond, and be part of the solution.
The mission of TCCN is to conduct education, outreach and engagement with individuals, families and organizations in order to advance the development of high quality, sustainable cohousing communities in the Greater Twin Cities area.
We recognize that this mission has been primarily accessible to middle-class white people, and needs to be reconsidered and become accessible to all.
As a start, we--as individuals and as a board--are committed to educating ourselves about racism and white supremacy. Here are some resources that we have looked at lately.
With gratitude and hope,
Becca Brackett
