IndianaRenew Website Redesign Almost Complete
 
This summer the Board of Directors hired Colin Clark with Tribeswell in Bloomington to revise and revamp our website. The idea was to make our website both a resource and communication center for members. The website is now in WordPress and should allow more effective updates and information exchange.
 
Existing Business Members should have received an email a week ago about how to enter your business membership information for our on-line Business Member Directory. http://www.indianarenew.org/about/member-directory/

The new Business Member Directory now includes a search function and categories to make it easier for people to find you in our on-line Member Directory.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Colin Clark [email protected] or send an email to [email protected].

 

Association Now 501 (c) (3)

The Indiana Renewable Energy Association is still a 100% volunteer organization BUT we just received approval from the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit tax exempt and tax deductible organization. That means that we can now apply for grants from foundations and receive your tax exempt contributions to further our educatioal efforts about renewable energy in Indiana.

Watch for more details before the end of the year on how to make your tax deductible contribution.  
Did you miss the Indiana Renewable Energy Conference?
 
The Indiana Renewable Energy Association was a co-sponsor of WIndiana 2011 and the first Indiana Renewable Energy Conference (IREC) held by the Indiana Office of Energy Development held July 20-21, 2011 at the Indiana Convention Center.
 
Whether you attended or not you can download presentations and other information at http://www.in.gov/oed/2636.htm
