A Note About $10 Quality Assurance RSVP fee

3. Free Access to Slack & Whatsapp Groups for Top Contributors + Free Membership Offer
At 4WARD, we like to reward & promote action, engagement and collaboration, as these are the keys to combating climate change effectively. As such, we’ve decided to “grandfather in” the top non-members of our various Slack and Whatsapp channels with free access to our Slack & Whatsapp community
In other words, anyone currently in our Slack and Whatsapp communities that actively and positively collaborates, contributes and posts at least one valuable (and not purely self-promotional) thing in our community every week through the end of 2023, will be granted “grandfathered” rights to remain part of the community when we go to paid-members only starting in 2024.
Additionally, to reward truly extraordinary contributors and community builders and drive even more value for all you Climate Techies out there, we’re offering three months free Climate Techies Membership (the events, the databases, the intros, the member-only communities and content) to the 10 top overall contributors (one for each week left in the year) both Members and current non-Members) in terms of community engagement, sharing, support and overall helpfulness in our Slack and Whatsapp communities.
How it works: Every week (starting today), we’ll review which members have posted and contributed to the community and track the non-Members to see who gets to stay in the community. The super contributors who’ve shared the most (not purely spraying links but really contributing to valuable conversations and community) will receive a code for 3 month free access to Climate Techies. And if you’re already a member, don’t worry… we’ll just add three months free onto your current subscription.
Sound like a plan?

5. Offer a Discount/Promo to Climate Techies Community!
