I think “events” should be a stand alone category. “education” should be a subgroup of “organizations”.
Other organizations could include these that I learned about Saturday at the wind energy presentation at Mesabi College:
http://c-bed.org/
C-BED is an organization of farmers and landowners, mainstreet businesses and bankers, wind developers and component fabricators, educators, renewable energy advocates, and other members of our local communities. We share a desire to develop renewable energy resources in a way that optimizes local economic development in the communities in which we live and work.
http://www.mnrenewables.org/
The Minnesota Renewable Energy Society (MRES) is a member-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in Minneapolis in 1978 to promote the use of and advocacy for renewable energies in Minnesota through education and demonstration of practical applications. MRES is involved with education, awareness, and advocacy efforts for all forms of renewable energy technologies, with a particular emphasis on solar energy technologies.

Good idea to pull “Events” up as a separate category. In fact, we might want to pull it out of “Additional Resources” entirely and use the blog section for event announcements instead. Or would it be confusing that we keep announcing events that we don’t have anything more to do with?
