Creating Clear & Effective Agreements for Your Group

g

During this two hour workshop for community starters, we will explore the details of creating community agreements that are both clear and effective for your membership. The workshop will be specifically focused on the particulars of Buy-In/Buy-Out agreements. We’ll examine the spectrum of options for purchasing and selling memberships in communities, specifically the dynamic balance between meeting individual needs and community cohesion.  We’ll look at timing issues, payout options, restrictions on transfers, and equity formulas.  Participants will get an overview of the key factors and have an opportunity to ask questions.  Specific legal advice for particular situations will not be offered as this is a non-confidential forum.
