Draft - Welcome to NESEA Post

What is NESEA?

The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) helps high-performance building and energy efficiency professionals improve their practices by learning from and networking with one another. NESEA runs 20+ events a year, from large scale conferences in the major cities of the Northeast to small groups gathering to share lessons learned.

Annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Update

I’m pleased to provide the NESEA Board of Director’s annual update on efforts and progress put forth towards Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI). We formalized providing this annual update as part of our official response to recommendations from the 2019 Diversity Caucus at BuildingEnergy Boston; as the board’s DEI liaison, I’ve worked closely with our newly minted Executive Director, Florence MacGregor, and my colleagues on the board to build on progress we’ve made towards community recommendations — both from the Diversity Caucus report and elsewhere —while also thinking creatively to adopt new practices and initiatives. I’m so grateful to the whole NESEA board, staff, and the volunteers who participate in and lead our programming for their efforts to implement and shape our efforts in this sphere.

Introducing NESEA's 2022 Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is an essential habit of a healthy, flourishing organization. It is an opportunity and an obligation to reflect on where we’ve been and to craft a vision of where we want to go. This is the case in times that are turbulent and fraught with uncertainty as well as those that are tranquil and secure. Our times are nothing if not turbulent and uncertain.
