The Georgia Solar Energy Association (GSEA), a non-profit, is looking to build outreach throughout the state. GSEA is the "go-to organization" to ask questions and get answers about the solar industry. The solar industry is growing around the nation and GSEA hopes to put some basic information in front of policy people (county commissioners, mayors, city councils of major GA cities, etc.) so they can be better informed about the solar industry and how it is developing in Georgia and around the country.
In pursuit of this, GSEA is working on developing a database. The database project is simple:
1) to research, using public information portals, the names, titles, emails and titles (city, county, region) for elected officials across all 159 Georgia counties,
2) establish a GSEA database using this information for educational use (Enews), and
3) to use these same students to focus group test information we will compile (and students are invited to help with this if they like!) to develop an orderly "flow" to how we roll out a basic primer on the solar industry in Georgia and how this information compares with national industry data.
GSEA will either send out 4 E-newsletters (one each quarter) or 6 E-newsletters (one each two months) for a total or 4 or 6 over the entirety of 2015. The information compiled will determine the proper number of E-newsletters. For 2015, six would be the maximum. If the project is successful, we would either keep the same number for 2016 (4 or 6) or grow the E-news to one each month (12) if the information and enthusiasm warranted an expansion.
The time-line for this project would be beginning January or February 2015 so 2-3 months.
Information about the Georgia Solar Energy Association (GSEA) can be found at www.gasolar.org. Under the "Mission" tab is a listing of staff, Board Members along with our backgrounds, and sponsors. Many Board members and "members" are owners of solar companies in Georgia and throughout the southeast.
