Think Young!

CHFT celebrates its 35 anniversary this year.  One of the ways that we are marking this significant anniversary is to focus our attention on the young people in our co-ops.

 

Over the past 5 years the CHFT Diversity Scholarship Program has highlighted the hard working, creative and dedicated young adults who live in our member co-ops.  Several of the recipients serve on the boards of their

co-ops.

 

We are asking our members to join us in the anniversary celebration and elect young members to their boards of directors.  We are viewing “young” as anyone under 35 years old.

 

We need a new generation of co-op leadership.  Let us know how your co-op is developing that leadership by sending an email to info@coophousing.com.

 

 

 

 

CHFT has adopted a No Scents policy for its' members' meetings and events.  Please follow this link to read the policy.
