Solar Community Organizer

Jul 2015 - Dec 2016
Responsible for engaging the public, and educating Vermonters on the possibilities and benefits of solar power. I engage the community by creating and implementing events that support local businesses and foster a greater sense of community all while celebrating solar power as a clean energy alternative that we make available to all Vermonters.As a Solar Community Organizer at SunCommon I am helping to tear down the barriers to renewable energy in Vermont. Traditionally one of the major barriers to the adoption of renewable energy is information. I work to educate Vermonters about the benefits of solar power generation and encourage others to support the development of renewable energy in Vermont. Show less
