Other ways to get involved

Become a Power Hour Co-Host

Expectations:

The role of a co-host would be for you and/or a colleague to represent your organization for one of our virtual Power Hour webinars and share the program content on your organization’s social media platforms, e-news, newsletters and/or within your networks for the webinar you decide to co-host.

We welcome our co-hosts to attend the Power Hour they choose and give them a few moments to share who they are, why they are supporting the Grow Solar program, and any of their own program updates, events, etc. to the attendees. We ask our co-hosts to try to keep it around five minutes.

In exchange, Grow Solar will provide:

Clickable logo on Grow Solar program website (please send at your earliest convenience)
Social media highlight on Grow Solar program Facebook page
Create and provide print materials to be shared with your organization’s network (if applicable – please ask if interested)

Become a Power Hour Venue

Expectations:

A good venue location has (but is not limited to) the following qualities: has a private space so attendees can hear, and has enough seating for an average attendance of 15-30 individuals. Visual capabilities like a projector, computer, and a screen are also desirable; however, the MREA can provide local presenters with these materials as needed.

Local community spaces (libraries, education centers, houses of worship, art galleries, senior centers, coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, bars, art galleries) are great places to serve as Power Hour venues. The great thing is that this is your town, your area! You know better than us what options are out there in your neighborhood. If you think your venue is a great fit, chances are others will too and will turn out!
