Hey there.

As SoFA members, not only are you wonderful supporters of better governance in the world, but you also get some membership benefits.

event ticketOne of them is access to member tickets — get your ticket for the Nov 20 conference on Sociocracy in Communities. That includes cohousing and ecovillages — any residential community using sociocracy. We hope you will join us!

If you’d be willing to share about the conference, that would be very useful and would support SoFA’s livelihood and the movement. See some easy options to share the conference with the world!
