Joining WADE allows you and others from your organization to help establish WADE’s agenda, message, policy positions and research priorities, and get involved in all areas of WADE’s work. WADE activities are designed to add significant value to its members. The numerous benefits are available to all of the different member categories. All that is required is to apply.
Benefits OF WADE Membership
1. Opportunity to become involved in WADE work. WADE has established six committees through which WADE members can influence the priorities of the organization in terms of research and activities. WADE members are invited to appoint one volunteer for each of: International Chapters Committee, Membership Committee, Policy Committee, Program and Business Development Committee, Communications Committee.
2. Market information. Members receive (for free or at heavily discounted prices, depending on time of joining) WADE's ongoing series of 'Market Analyses'. Five of these reports have already been published in March and April 2005 (China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Russia). We believe that these analyses contain information and data that are not available elsewhere and are worth several times the WADE fee rates.
3. The opportunity to participate in emerging WADE Member Groups in China, India and Russia. These Groups co-ordinate marketing and policy initiatives on behalf of WADE Members in the countries concerned.
4. Reduced delegate fees and sponsorship rates, plus priority speaking opportunities, at WADE’s international conferences and other events. The 7th International DE Conference was held in Prague in October 30-31 2006. Including the annual conferences WADE usually organizes 2-3 major events per year.
5. Free access to all WADE policy and market reports.
6. Direct access to WADE's network of national DE / CHP organisations and other members, all located in key national markets.
7. Regular market and policy briefings by e-mail for up to five member contacts.
8. Ad hoc provision of information, guidance and expertise according to specific member requirements.
9. Opportunity for the provision of editorial features / articles in 'Cogeneration and Onsite Power production', www.cospp.com. David Sweet of WADE serves as Consulting Editor of the magazine.
10. Finally, WADE’s overall work to accelerate DE / CHP worldwide market development means that members enjoy more sales. WADE can point to many policy changes around the world directly and indirectly linked to WADE's work in the past and which are leading to new DE sales today.
