SEE Mission Statement
Name: Sustainable Energy Easthampton (“The SEE Forum”)
Mission: SEE is an open forum committed to making Easthampton, MA ecologically sustainable.
Goals:
- To develop locally produced renewable energy and reduce emissions.
- To educate the public and promote renewable energy issues.
- To build a connected, informed and powerful community to bring about change.
SEE Forum Organization:
Structure: An aggregate of work groups. All that is required to create a new work group is for someone to suggest it and to volunteer to be the point of contact for it. Nothing is required for membership. People can come simply to listen and educate themselves. A person can volunteer to help when inspired to do so. A person can serve on any number of work groups.
- Minimum members to form a work group: 1
- Number of work groups an individual can participate in: Any number or none at all.
- Media contacts: Website and Phone Contacts will be directed to the point of contact for the work group concerned.
Work Group Organization: That will be up to the individual group’s participants to determine. The only output required of the work group is that the point of contact or designee makes a periodic report to the SEE forum as a whole at the meeting.
