NICA Board Retreat Highlights

Intentional Community Slogans!

Intentional Communities present powerful opportunities for people to improve their lives, but could you express all the benefits in a slogan? In our society with less time and more content, could you introduce a phrase to hook someone’s interest in community?  At our winter retreat in February, the NICA board generated an extensive list of possible catch phrases. We then ranked them into four groups, with favorites in the first group. We invite you to consider using these phrases in your discussions and publicity. We’d love your reactions to them, and to know how other people respond. You can let us know using the contact form on our (new!) website: https://nwcommunities.org/contact/
