Instead of gathering in person, we’re inviting you to grab your beverage of choice and get cozy for an evening in! Join us for a casual program to inspire, connect, and re-energize through shared learning from neighboring towns across Vermont and New Hampshire. Register for the Virtual Showcase to hear about: <ul> <li>How Enfield, NH joined the Community Power Coalition of NH and got buy-in from their community</li> <li>How Sustainable Hanover has energized the values of equity, inclusion, and justice into their work</li> <li lang="EN-US">How Cornish, Plainfield, Windsor, and Hartland joined together for a successful residential solarize campaign across town – and state – borders</li> <li lang="EN-US">How Bradford, NH came back from a “covid pause” stronger than before to successfully weatherize the town library</li> </ul> And more! We’ll also cover how Town Energy Committees are tackling common challenges and what themes are emerging for next year’s work. All are welcome to attend, whether you are a member of your town energy committee, interested in forming one, a volunteer with other organizations or clubs, or passionate about addressing climate change and expanding clean, efficient energy at the local level. <a href="https://vitalcommunities.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59f663a36397a5ce0ca96a046&id=a1dd0baf69&e=f3abf9a421" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://vitalcommunities.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D59f663a36397a5ce0ca96a046%26id%3Da1dd0baf69%26e%3Df3abf9a421&source=gmail&ust=1651930052846000&usg=AOvVaw3S_bjqcmXY0rTtJi4AqYIT">Here, again, is the link to register.
