The Northwest Intentional Communities Association was formed by a
coalition of intentional communities in the fall of 1992 following the
Sustainable Communities Conference, spearheaded by John Affolter of the
Teramanto community, that was held in West Seattle at Camp Long. The
first meeting of NICA was held in the spring of 1993 at the Wesleyan
community on Vashon Island, at which time the bylaws and articles of
incorporation were ratified. We incorporated in the Fall of 1993 as a
Washington State non-profit. We were involved in the 1993 Fellowship for
Intentional Communities Celebration of Communities gatherings and have
held summer gatherings ever since. We began publishing a small
newsletter in the Fall of 1992, and we successfully became a 501c3 tax
exempt organization in 1997.
