Ameren: Light on the Horizon Campaign
The Light on the Horizon campaign encourages small businesses to sign-up for a Free Energy Consultation from one of our Program Ally’s. I’ve attached a “Light on the Horizon” flyer for you to review and share with your members and contacts.
Our annual Business Symposium will be taking place virtually this year on October 21 & 22. This is an annual event that we have held at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield for many years. This event is typically well attended and we are hoping for a big turn-out for the first virtual event. With your help, we feel confident that we will reach many of our customers who can greatly benefit from these initiatives.
Like many of you, we are primarily doing virtual presentations and meetings for the foreseeable future. I have attached our Virtual Presentation Package flyer to remind you how we have pivoted from onsite meetings to virtual meetings. Please contact me if you want to schedule a presentation on energy efficiency for your members. (Note that we can even include lunch for attendees as part of the presentation!)
As a friendly reminder, The Ameren Illinois Energy Efficiency Program continues to support our customers and provide up-to-date service information. Please continue to visit our COVID-19 resource pages: AmerenIllinoisSavings.com/COVID-19 or AmerenIllinoisSavings.com/Recovery.
ACCELERATED TREND IN FOOD AND AG
Tuesday, August 4, from 12-12:30 PM CDT
A conversation with Michael Swanson, Wells Fargo’s chief agriculture economist about how crises accelerate existing economic and industry trends. Innovations that would have taken 3-5 years for significant customer adoption may take only a year. What was envisioned over a decade appears in a few years. What are the key trends that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated in the food and ag industry? Moderated by Adam Bergman, Managing Partner, EcoTech Capital Partners. The webinar is FREE but registration is required.
