Regional Intro & Organizing Meetings
In March of 2018, the Ready For 100 Chester County team conducted volunteer introduction and organizing meetings in 5 regional areas around the county. The intent was to organize and focus our efforts to make commitments and plans to transition to 100% renewable energy. 
- Tredyffrin Area (Tredy/Eastown/Malvern/Berwyn/Devon/Wayne)
- Phoenixville Area (Phoenixville/Schuylkill/Charlestown/E,W Pikeland/E,W Vincent/Spring City
- West Chester Area (West Chester/E Bradford/E,W Goshen/Westtown/Birmingham)
- Kennett Square Area (Kennett Sq Twp/Boro/E Marlborough, New Garden/Pennsbury)
- Downingtown Area (Downingtown/Caln/E Caln/W Whiteland/W Bradford/E Brandywine/Uwchlan)
Volunteers and committee members heard about how other local communities have passed a 100% clean energy resolutions (Phoenixville, West Chester, Downingtown) and talk about what it would take to get your township to do the same. Learn about our support network for materials for making the case to your board of supervisors and moving forward with energy transition planning.
We have serious plans to increase the momentum in participating townships. Stay tuned for news about presentations at your township meeting.
