Very happy to take part in #SolarFocus2019 earlier this week along with @WyattAndie. Thank you to @dwmurray and the staff at @MDVSEIA for putting on a great event and showcasing the promise of solar in the Mid-Atlantic region! ☀️
Can't wait to participate on this panel with Kate Henningsen from @ArcadiaPower and Melissa Lauderdale-Ward from @Exelon! It's very cool to be a part of @NixonPeabodyLLP's "Let's Talk!" series that highlights local female leaders.
Coming up on November 13... 🗓️📝
Our Executive Director @ElectricSteele will be on the panel for "Let's Talk: A Conversation with Three Female 'Power' Players in the Energy Industry," presented by @NixonPeabodyLLP!

Elijah Cummings was a leading voice for voting rights, personal liberty, racial equity, environmental justice and, of course, democracy in government. We will miss his presence in Maryland, throughout the region and across the country.
Can't wait to attend tonight's Solar Showcase with @cnhed and @SolarNeighbors! If you're interested in getting solar but aren't sure how it works, this event is for you. We're gonna show you a system we installed and its benefits up close!

The first day of the Fall 2019 #SolarWorksDC cohort was last week. Our 28 trainees spent the day in the classroom, but they'll be on the roof soon enough!
Excited to have this group onboard for 12 weeks of job training 👷🏾♂️👷🏾♀️☀️🔧
Finally catching up after last week's (awesome) craziness. Thank you to all who came to Thursday's Solar Soirée! What an amazing time with our GRID family, honorees and performers. Can't wait for our 10-year anniversary!
3... (an extension of 2) The Solar Soirée is tomorrow night! We're definitely celebrating our fifth anniversary in style. There will be food and drinks and music and I'm so excited to honor @marycheh, @EJinAction and @andyshallal. Come join us! https://t.co/NMdU2F8BNu
So many things to celebrate this week!
1... Yesterday, #Virginia set a goal for 100% carbon-free power by 2050. Even better, that goal comes with a strong commitment to making clean energy accessible to vulnerable/low-income communities. Clean energy should benefit EVERYONE.
2... @GRIDmdv's five-year anniversary is THIS WEEK! What started as a project on my kitchen table has grown into an office with 30+ employees serving the Mid-Atlantic region. We've completed 267 installations and provided job training for 860 individuals. So so so proud.
@JoelCohnCPA @lidija_sekaric @CleanGridView Thank you Joel! It is awesome to see these women be highlighted for their leadership. Like you said, there are many, many other amazing women making an impact behind the scenes.
Please make time today to read this article by GRID CEO Erica Mackie. Not only are women underrepresented in the solar industry, they're also underpaid. We need to take steps to ensure there is equity not just in who receives solar, but who works in solar.

Thank you to @nicomeo for having me on the Suncast Podcast to talk about starting @GRIDmdv and its continuing impacts!
Amazing to think about the company we were 5 yrs ago and the growth we've made since then. Appreciate all those who have helped us on our journey. ❤️
@ElectricSteele started as @GridAlt_IE ’s Executive Director in 2014; her leadership has installed more than 2MW of solar on over 250 rooftops of low-income families.

Every year I look forward to learning about new aspects of the solar industry. This year I'm also excited to share @GRIDmdv's practices for making clean energy jobs accessible to underrepresented groups!

So proud of this summer's trainees! This group was constantly engaged and always eager to learn on the site. They have amazing potential in whatever pursuits they choose to follow, and through GRID's workforce program they now have experience and training in a growing industry.
Today we celebrated the graduation for the #SolarWorksDC summer cohort! 🎓🎉
Congrats to the 20 trainees who participated through the Green Zone Environmental Program!
