Join Us for a Community Conversation
On behalf of Consumers Energy, Disability Network Southwest Michigan will host two Community Conversations aimed at collecting feedback from members of the Disability Community.
Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences, discuss barriers to accessing services and support, and offer suggestions for improvement.
Attendees will also learn about programs available to income-qualified Michigan residents, including free in-home energy assessments and energy-saving upgrades that may help reduce utility costs and improve home comfort.
This event is open to anyone who receives a Consumers Energy bill; you do need to be a homeowner to participate.
Refreshments will be provided. Registration is required.
Consumers Energy wants to hear directly from members of the Disability Community about:
- Issues with getting services & support
- Positive experiences & things that are working well that should continue
- How Consumers Energy can improve its programs, services, & communication
- How to better inform the community about the programs & services Consumers Energy offers
Why Attend?
Participants will be entered into a raffle for a $25 gift card.
Learn about Consumers Energy programs that could save you money. Income-eligible Michigan residents could receive free home energy assessments and energy-saving upgrades such as smart thermostats, LED lighting, and more.
