IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT and request…
Emails have been sent out to all non-member email addresses we have about our 2 new membership categories by the part time Admin for BNNZ (in his third month). Dylan Graves is working for BNNZ doing website maintenance, membership, and anything else he can to assist BNNZ in fulfilling its mission to advocate for biochar in New Zealand.
BNNZ is offering two new Memberships in addition to its Standard and Student memberships which will remain at $50 and $25 respectively (and are for anyone interested in biochar and wanting to support BNNZ and its vision). The first is for Community membership and is for Groups/Non-profits who support biochar awareness. Groups such as community gardens, environmental NGOs, catchment groups, permaculture groups, transition towns, and so on. The second is Professional for people or businesses who work in the biochar industry.
Member benefits:
Support of a national organisation for biochar
Networking with others interested in biochar
Receiving a monthly newsletter
Opportunity to be on the committee or volunteer time to help BNNZ
MEMBERS LOUNGE every second month via online video call
BNNZ events such as workshops, webinars and other opportunities to expand your knowledge of biochar
Extras for Community membership ($150):
Listing for your group on the website with a link to your online presence.
Encouragement to submit events involving biochar for the BNNZ calendar.
Extras for Professional membership ($200):
Listing for your products or services on the website Supplier section.
Right to submit events involving biochar for the BNNZ calendar.
NOTE: This membership is automatically granted if you are/become a “Carbon” tier member or higher of ANZBIG (ANZ Biochar Industry Group) – please state you are in NZ when you sign up. If you are an Associate member of ANZBIG, then you are a Standard member of BNNZ by default.
In order to streamline the memberships, BNNZ is moving to online payments by bank/credit card at sign up/renewal. If you really do not want to do this, then please email admin@biochar.net.nz after making payment by bank transfer (bank a/c # on Donate page) and a manual membership entry for you will be created.
This membership drive is hoping for your sign up and also to share this email to your friends, family, colleagues, local relevant Group(s), etc. If BNNZ can reach 100 members, more exciting things will start to happen in the NZ biochar space. THANK YOU!
Sign up here.
Thanks, best regards
Dylan
