NESEA’s mission is to advance the adoption of sustainable energy practices in the built environment by cultivating a community where practitioners share, collaborate and learn; we cannot achieve that mission without honoring our commitments to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into our programming and to welcome historically underrepresented people into the community at-large.

As a reflection of these commitments, NESEA has two individuals shepherding this work: Andrea Mancino serves as our board liaison for DEI and Florence MacGregor serves as the staff point person. If you have questions, suggestions, or would like to be involved with this work, please contact Florence at fmacgregor@nesea.org.
