Providing education & advocacy for our
people-centric workspace community
Coshare is the first organization to represent the greater shared spaces communities, particularly coworking. Get to know us and our mission.
Our board of directors is made up of owners and operators of a diverse group of people-centric spaces, inclusive of all values and models.

In addition to providing education and advocacy for our community, Coshare will:
- Provide the engine to produce the Global Coworking Unconference and Conference [GCUC, or its re-branded name]. We will lead the financial and staffing resources to produce this world class conference each year.
- Provide resources and access to tools for emerging coworking spaces.
- Provide resources to organize and moderate the Coworking Google Group.
- Provide resources (money to staff) to support the Coworking Wiki Project.
- Provide advocacy for coworking related topics, such as:
- Getting the official spelling of coworking in the AP style book
- Educating Google on the needs of Coworking spaces ( for example, how one business address can be claimed by 200 businesses on Google Places)
- Be the touch point for government when there is an interest in connecting to coworking spaces
- Fund studies on coworking and the impact of coworking on society, the economy
and individuals.
