    CCL Training: Empowering Your Requesting Workshop

    CCL Training: Empowering Your Requesting Workshop

     


     



    The strength of CCL's chapters runs on volunteer leaders feeling empowered to make requests, especially requesting volunteers to participate.  This session, lead by Jean Ritok, former Group Co-Leader of the Raleigh Durham Chapter, takes you from your existing skill level in asking, to empowered asking.  It’s an avenue to partnership in your chapter, volunteers enjoying their participation and peace of mind that your chapter is humming.

    CCL Training: New Research on the Benefits from the BIG WIRES Act

    Researchers from MIT recently published a paper detailing all of the great benefits that would come from passing the BIG WIRES Act, and researchers from Vanderbilt published a study about the big role household electrification and efficiency will play in realizing the Inflation Reduction Act's climate pollution reductions potential. We also received an update about the status of the IRA's important home electrification and efficiency rebate programs that have been in development for the past year and a half. Join CCL Research Coordinator Dana Nuccitelli for a training that will summarize all of this new information that's critical to CCL's clean energy permitting reform and building electrification & efficiency policy areas.

Great training, volume could do with adjusting

The training is great, and if more people took it, we would have a lot more accomplished on climate. I wish they would increase the volume a bit to bring it on par with other podcasts.
