Thank you for helping us get solar panels on schools. This page is intended for helping our leaders and volunteers access the resources they need to accomplish their action items. Each tool has on-line help to get you up to speed. If that doesn't work, email admin@e3council.org. There are also links to other sites that may be of interest to our members. Leadership ActivitiesAttend Meeting - Calender (If you are the lead of an event, be sure to invite your participants to the event from the google calendar)Create Materials - Google Docs, Resources Update Volunteer Action Items Sign Up Forms can be set to notify you of a change. If you are coordinating an activity, this is the best way to find out when things change.
