Energy Trust of Oregon held its annual Fall Trade Ally Forums October 17 in Portland, October 21 in Bend, and October 22 in Medford, drawing some of the largest groups in the history of these events. The 2024 forums included updates and training for Residential, multifamily and commercial trade allies, bringing all three groups together for the first time in several years.
The forums also included awards, recognizing trade allies for their service to customers and contributions to Energy Trust’s success. Awards were broken out by region and were given based on project volume, increases in activity over previous years, service to small businesses, service to community partners and outstanding service as new trade allies.
Several trade allies were able to attend in-person to receive their awards in the Existing Buildings categories. It was a pleasure to thank them in-person! Awards will be shipped directly to those who couldn’t attend. You should hear from your trade ally coordinator soon, if you haven’t already.
