AMERICAN COUNCIL ON RENEWABLE ENERGY-ACORE

My company was a member for 3 years, but didn't renew this year because we couldn't justify the pricey dues. ACORE events were great in the beginning, but began to get stale, with the same (or similar) speakers saying the same things. President seems to more concerned about promoting himself and traveling internationally than providing member benefits. Various committees have been formed, but very few of them actually accomplish anything. This org needs a strong executive director who will interact with members, and focus on reaching policy makers to educate and compel them to make good legislative decisions that support renewable energy. You don't need to be a member to attend their events (though membership does provide discounted passes). Consider this when considering membership.

More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
attending events
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Org seems burdened with junior people given "Director" titles. Very few actual director-level people.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Launch a major campaign to educate about renewables, hire more senior-level staff, provide new and different content.
Ways to make it better...
my company had received actual, tangible benefit
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Ineffective leadership. Stuck in the past. No longer providing new or unique information.
One thing I'd also say is that...
Consider membership costs vs. benefits.
