Re: [Coworking] CoWorking Association?
Hi Jeannine, Love your reference to the ACOE solution - We had them as a client for years and I never heard that! Spot on. And for what it's worth, I'm another one with a foot in two places (US/UK).

Re: [Coworking] CoWorking Association?
Hi, Sabrina, My dad was an engineer in the ACoE, he assures me that both the rule and the result are accurate. Maybe we should start an association of folks with a foot on two continents. We can call it Intercontinental Coworkiing Colossi or something. Our motto: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!:-) For the logo alone it might be worth doing. Oh dear, better quit while I am ahead.
