SUMMARY:MREA Webinar Series — Grow Solar: Energizing Your Community
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Tuesday\, April 28 starting at 5:30 p.m. \nWHERE: Online via Zoom \nThe MREA’s May webinar will feature Nick Hylla\, Executive Director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association\, for an overview of the electrical grid\, why your utility bills are increasing\, and how you can engage in community programming to reduce those costs.  \nMREA staff will join the call to highlight partners from around the Midwest who are actively bringing these programs to their communities. The session concludes with a live Q&A\, giving participants the opportunity to submit questions and learn directly from one of the Midwest’s most experienced clean energy educators. If you’re interested in investing in solar for your home or business to reduce your utility bills and increase resiliency\, this is the webinar for you.  \nNick Hylla is the Executive Director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association where he works in partnership with organizations throughout the Midwest to advance solar energy education and market development initiatives. Nick holds an MS degree in natural resource management\, has 15 years of experience in non-profit leadership\, and has served as the Principal Investigator on 6 US Dept. of Energy assistance agreements to support solar workforce development and help reduce the “soft costs” of solar energy development in Midwest states. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND\nCan’t make it to the live webinar? No worries! We’ll upload the recorded webinar to YouTube the next business day so you won’t miss out. \n  \nAbout the MREA’s Webinar Series:\nJoin the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) for a free\, monthly webinar series exploring the renewable energy and sustainability topics you want to learn more about. These interactive sessions take place on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. and are hosted virtually for easy access from anywhere. \nThe MREA was founded from our historic Energy Fair event — an annual gathering that brought together thousands of attendees to explore sustainability\, clean energy\, and actionable solutions for a greener future. While the Fair has since been retired\, its spirit of education\, connection\, and action lives on. This monthly webinar series continues that legacy by creating space for learning\, discussion\, and community around today’s most relevant clean energy and sustainability topics. \nThese webinars are free and open to all. We do encourage participants to become MREA members to help support our work and ensure we can continue offering accessible education and advocacy across the Midwest. \nBe sure to subscribe to our monthly newsletter to get updates on upcoming webinar topics\, speaker announcements\, and opportunities to suggest future subjects or organizations you’d like to hear from.
