Bloomington colleagues, your help needed
Madeline Hirschland
Friends,
In partnership with the City of Bloomington’s Energy Works program, Electrify Indiana – an all-volunteer not-for-profit – is trying to quickly get the word out to households across the city about how, when and why to electrify (and solarize and weatherize) and financial incentives available to do so. We need your help. Please let us know here which of the presentation roles below is a good fit for you and what day(s) of the week you can help. (If canvassing or backing up canvassing is the right fit for you, see the contact information below.)
If you’re feeling discouraged, this is something important that you can do to help move the clean energy transition forward (in a fun and warm community no less!) Thanks so much for considering it. We greatly look forward to hearing from you.
Madi
Types of Help Needed
Host: If you heat and cool your home with a cold climate heat pump, we would tremendously appreciate your hosting a presentation and Show & Tell. If you can host, we’ll take care of everything else: presenter, chairs, welcome (card table), projector, screen, refreshments, supervised activity for kids, experts, setup, cleanup, etc.
“Appliance expert”: If you have any of these in your home or know a lot about one of them, we’d greatly appreciate your being on hand for one or more Show & Tells: heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heater, solar, EV or induction stove / heat pump dryer. You’ll be on hand to briefly and simply answer questions about “your appliance”.
Tech Support Person. You’ll set up the projector, screen and laptop and check to see that they’re working and be on hand to quickly fix the tech issues that inevitably pop up.
Presenter. If you’re a clear, comfortable, compelling and focused public speaker who has a basic understanding of electrification, you’d give the 30- minute presentation two or three times between now and May 1st. We’ll provide training, the PowerPoint presentation and a key points document.
Canvasser. If you like to walk, meet new people and share information, we’d so appreciate your help inviting households to these presentations. We’ll be canvassing for two hours on Saturdays and Sundays – come once or be part of a weekly team. We’ll provide simple training and support. You can sign up here.
Canvass Back Up. We need a calm, reliable and mature person to be on call to back up two-hour canvassing shifts. Canvassers will have your number in case an issue arises while they’re canvassing and you’ll have a car to get to where they are. You may also help canvassers who arrive late to a shift. If this is of interest, please email Stacey at Electrif...@gmail.com.
