Hi Carolyn,

A couple of things I've noticed that are VERY important to cultivating a 
culture at a coworking space (having created and been to quite a few) are;


   1. Define a formula or mission and SAY it OUT LOUD to members and WRITE 
   it everywhere you can. Use the words you define over an over and eventually 
   it will be absorbed into the culture (as long as it is true - being true to 
   your culture is KEY:))
   2. Use a model that only takes monthly members - daily members can 
   disrupt a culture and monthly people tend to be more committed to the 
   culture and community
   3.  For your purposes I recommend talking to other coworks who focus on 
   community and culture 
      - We do this at the cowork I help manage (www.carlsoncowork.com)
      - I also visited 3 coworks in London who do the same (The Office 
      Group, Huckletree, and Rainmaking Loft)
   
I'd love to connect with you if you're interested in chatting about this in 
more detail:)

Thanks,
Chris
