Form for Renewing Affiliates
Renewals are due February 28th annually once an affiliate has been certified one full calendar year. Your report on accomplishments from 2019 is due February 28th, 2020.
Because the mission of Bee City USA is mobilizing communities for pollinator conservation, the report should be a snapshot of the community's previous year's successes, not a summary of what the local Bee City USA committee accomplished alone. The committee's most important role is acknowledging how the community--young and old, public and private entities, individuals, organizations, institutions, businesses, schools, churches--is sustaining pollinators. January is the perfect time to pull all of those people together to reflect on the previous year so those efforts are not forgotten. (While they're together is also the perfect time to plan the calendar for the new year.) Everyone can help reverse pollinator decline!
If you do not already have a gmail account you will need to create one to fill out the renewal form for 2019 accomplishments. We recommend creating a gmail account for your Bee City USA committee that could also support your ongoing committee communications (ex: beecityusa.cityname@gmail.com).
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to conserving pollinators and enhancing our planet's resilience. We look forward to reading about your community's accomplishments and sharing your report with the Bee City USA and Bee Campus USA networks, and with the general public.
We recommend reading through the form and drafting your responses before filling out the renewal form. You can find Word and PDF versions of the renewal form below. These documents are to assist in drafting your renewal, each affiliate must submit the Bee City renewal form to complete their annual renewal.
