We’ve been at this for almost 7 years now. Thank you for being here with us as a partner, through thick and thin, collaborating to help provide the environment where real change can happen. ## Since inception, together, we have… - Grown to 50 enterprises across energy - Pioneered digital “BC” “before covid” with significant events : GRIT awards, Energy 2.0 Annual Forum, which at peak has garnered over 75,000 participants and scaled to host 200 events during COVID. - Launched The Voices of Energy™ podcast to address energy transition - Acquired Clean Energy Social, the largest jobs platform, doubling our size of candidates and companies - Launched the ERG and ESG Councils (which you have been tremendous support of)— the only incubator like communities for the entire energy sector. ## But with growth comes growing pains. I own these bottlenecks. We are addressing these now to maintain and accelerate our progress and we thank you for your patience while we work through this. Specifically, - We recently hired new experienced talent to address our increasing financial, technical, operational, and marketing needs with debt capital we secured. - We are investing in ALLY 2.0, our new platform that launches Q4. - We’ve appointed a group of leaders from energy and business to fill our new advisory board, announcement pending. - We are defining a plan to reach out to you regularly, ensuring you get the timely resources you need, and providing someone you can turn to at any time to address your concerns. - In 2022, we will raise our Series A funding to invest more into the technology and staff and service. ## We’re here for you: Learn More @ 2022 Preview In order to order to communicate all of these changes to our members, answer questions, and walk through our new website, we will make ourselves available for six-time slots in November.
