  Navigating your utilities’ COVID consumer protections

  Kate Shonk, Sustainable Communities Liaison , Citizens Utility Board (CUB)

  Illinois utilities have publicly committed to additional consumer protections during the COVID 19 pandemic. Unfortunately, these protections can be difficult for consumers to navigate and there's a lot of misinformation out there. In this webinar we'll talk about how to make sure you're covered by the consumer protections, how to apply for bill assistance programs, and how to save on your bills with energy efficiency programs.

  The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) is a non-profit, statewide utility watchdog organization created in 1983 to work for lower gas, electric and telephone rates. CUB has been on your side for 30 years—blocking utility rate hikes, winning consumer refunds and helping to pass important consumer protection laws. Our outreach team has spoken at hundreds of community meetings across Illinois and would love to come to yours.

  Please note that depending on my availability, another one of our trained outreach staff may take my place as speaker at your meeting, but I will confirm when you contact me.

  The Science of Happiness: Positive Psychology in the Age of COVID-19

  Michael Bromberg, M.A., Speaker, Actor, Psychology Enthusiast

  Much of psychology looks at what is wrong with the world: research for disorders will examine those that have the disorder. What if we looked at those that don't have the disorder and ask, "What are they doing right?" This fascinating field looks at how we can improve ourselves by examining those of us who are above average, so that we can help those that are going through the rough patches of life. MORE >

  The field gives compelling, scientific proof on how we should change our mindset to promote self-improvement, overcoming disorder, and achieving our goals. Every time I have given this presentation I have people coming up to me requesting more info as it makes us expand our way of thinking psychologically! This is appropriate for all ages.
