As We Close - the Director's Blog
By Monica Brummer, Director of the Pacific NW Center of Excellence for Clean Energy

One of the most difficult moments I’ve faced has been sharing news with our staff, advisory board members, supporters, and champions that the Center of Excellence is closing. Yet even harder will be walking out the door for the final time on June 30 knowing that the work we’ve been so deeply committed to still needs to be done.

As the Center closes, please know that we will continue to hold this industry and its workers near to our hearts, and will continue to follow and share industry news as our utilities move into a zero-carbon economy on LinkedIn.
