CPN In Brief

The Chesapeake Polyamory Network (CPN) was founded in 1998 and is a private, voluntary, nonprofit membership organization, serving the mid-Atlantic region of Maryland, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Northern Virginia, West Virginia, and south-central Pennsylvania.

We are made up of families and individuals 18 and over and dedicated to supporting those who choose to live a lifestyle that includes committed, loving relationships with more than one partner. We do this through informational and educational programs for members, a wide range of social and recreational activities, a thriving online listserve, several dedicated Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and outreach and advocacy efforts directed at improving the general public's awareness, understanding, and acceptance of the polyamorous lifestyle as a legitimate, respectable alternative to traditional monogamy.

The purpose of this web site is to provide information to CPN members, prospective members, and persons interested in polyamory.

We strive to provide a comprehensive on-line "base," from which visitors can jump to a wide array of primary sources and resources, rather than needlessly duplicating them here. Rather than be another "us, too" polyamory website repeating the same content and a few repetitive links, we have devoted considerable effort to winnowing through a lot of the material on-line, cataloging the best and most informative of it, and presenting it in a simple, uncluttered format. We hope you will feel we have succeeded.
