Introducing our new
Advocacy Toolkit
www.mwalliance.org/advocacy
Rationale
A common theme at MEEA’s 2014 Annual
Meeting was our members wanted us to
provide more tools to help them support
energy efficiency in their states.
With our new online Advocacy Toolkit, we
address that need.
67
MEEA Advocacy Toolkit
•
Messaging materials: how to talk about energy efficiency to policymakers.
•
Sample letters: use these as a guide to craft effective communications to
editors and policymakers.
•
Resource Guide: use our Resource Guide for Policymakers to learn about
energy efficiency practices throughout the region.
•
State-specific materials: Factsheets and case studies that show the state
of energy efficiency in states and success stories from energy efficiency
program activities. Links to contact information for key policymakers.
•
Slides: A selection of MEEA’s energy efficiency slides that you can use in
energy efficiency presentations.
•
More: The Toolkit will be a growing resource, with periodic data updates,
new case studies, and other materials that you tell us you need.
