There has never been a more important time to be a Forth member, or a better time to join. I had the chance to catch up with many of Forth’s members during our Roadmap Conference in Detroit. Forth already has about 150 members, ranging from major automakers and global consulting firms to community-based organizations and local governments. This diverse group has a few things in common beyond their commitment to equitable electric mobility: 🗣 Sharing information. Members have questions, and Forth is here to provide answers. As a mission-driven nonprofit, Forth regularly shares information and best practices one-on-one, as well as through our members-only portal and our quarterly members-only roundtables. 🕸 Making connections. We often say this is our “superpower” at Forth. We’ve been at this work for 15 years across the country - odds are, if you are looking for someone, we can help you find them. We love introducing our members to each other, and to other potential partners. 🔧 Solving problems. We work with our members to identify and overcome barriers to equitable transportation electrification. Our webinars this year have shared insights from members including Cox Automotive Inc., Pacific Power, Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), and others. Our recent best practice papers on outreach, carshare, working with gig drivers, multifamily charging, and workplace charging all draw heavily on insights from members including Uber, General Motors and FlexCharging. 🤝 Working Together. Forth has partnered with dozens of our members to secure contracts and grants. A few recent examples include working with Kittleson to develop a utility micromobility strategy; with Lithia & Driveway to reform access to electric car loans; and with the Oregon Department of Transportation to ensure state charging incentives go where they are most needed. If you are not yet a member, now is the time to join! Annual membership dues range from $1,000 to $20,000, but we are offering a special one-time 10% discount for your first year of membership if you join by November 30. Joining now will also let you participate in our next member roundtable on December 5. For those of you who are Forth members, I’d love to hear in the comments below how membership has helped you. If you’re not a member yet, I’d love to hear why. Better yet - shoot me a DM and let’s get you signed up! And either way - I’d love to hear what you need to move your work forward. I bet you dollars to donuts a Forth membership can help! 👉 https://lnkd.in/grb5rKQ9 #electrification #transportation #ElectricVehicles #networking
