Grassroots Program – Join AWEA’s Grassroots program, aimed at maximizing AWEA members’ connections with elected officials for the benefit of the wind industry. AWEA will use this information for targeted legislative action alerts. If you are friends with, related to, or have a personal connection with a Member of Congress, Governor, or state legislator, or their staff, AWEA would like to know! Please fill out the Grassroots form and take action today. *The Grassroots Program is available for AWEA members only.*
____________________________________________________ What are the Grassroots Programs?
Congressional Tour program - In partnership with the project and facility owners, AWEA organizes tours for Members of Congress in order to create relationships and to educate Congressional leaders on wind energy issues. During the visit and tour of your facility, the elected official will have an opportunity to speak with your staff and gain a better perspective into the inner workings of your business. This event will provide you and your staff with the chance to develop a deeper relationship with your representative. Eight-Minute Activist Program – The program is geared toward landowners and your company employees. All they need to provide is eight minutes of their time. At no expense to you, AWEA will supply your company with cards that are designed to quickly explain a legislative issue, why the issue is important, and how to take action. To see a sample card, please click here. District Meetings Program – AWEA will set up meetings for you or your staff to visit your Members of Congress or their staffs at one of their state offices to discuss wind energy issues. District meetings show a lawmaker that you are serious about the issues, and the meetings also reinforce the work AWEA’s Washington lobbying team. AWEA will provide you with the talking points and fact sheets for your visit. Take a look at the Congressional Calendar to see when your Representative will be in town.
