CEF is excited to invite Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as our 2018 Annual Meeting Keynote speaker. Recently elected in November 2017, Mayor Frey has already voiced his support for CEF’s vision at the Shiloh Temple launch event March 9 and has called for Minneapolis to lead the way on climate action through the Minneapolis Clean Energy Partnership. Mayor Frey will discuss how groups like CEF help advance city’s climate and economic justice goals and how grassroots efforts like ours can best leverage the power of local governments to secure a better energy future.Major Annual Meeting Goals:
First and foremost, this is a celebration of the great strides CEF has made this year to make cooperative community energy a reality in Minnesota, and to look ahead to the exciting next phase as CEF builds out our first 8 community solar gardens offsetting the energy use of several hundred members. Join us in celebrating this historic moment in our journey to a cooperative energy future! A few more specific things we will cover include:
- Get to know the co-op! Who are we, why are we, and where have we come from.
- Learn about the co-op’s progress over the past year including member growth, new solar gardens, and capital secured.
- Discuss highlights of the major opportunities and challenges facing the co-op
- Invite members to get more involved in shaping where the co-op goes next
- Make decisions about term limits for our Board of Directors, hear from Board candidates, and elect new members to the CEF Board of Directors.
- Enjoy food, company, and great stories
