Susan Nash

Susan Nash has more than 20 years of experience launching and managing successful programs that support energy and economic development and innovation in local and global contexts, along with developing educational programs that develop skill sets and knowledge bases for agile, creative, and resilient individuals. She has developed programs to connect funding and commercialization sources with new services and technologies. To do so, she has utilized digital platforms for live and archived content for educational, networking, and market-building purposes.

Her shared vision is a world where individuals can have access to clean, affordable energy to provide safe and healthy homes for their loved ones and community members. In such a world, concrete and measurable changes are made to protect, preserve, and restore the environment and all those living in it. In that vision, we eradicate energy poverty in the world, and build stronger, safer networks for access to safe energy.

After COVID-19 and economic shocks, it has been important to redouble efforts to be creative in finding ways to help individuals pivot to emerging opportunities, to equip themselves with new knowledge and technology, and to find new ways to forge productive and lasting contacts. This means new kinds of hybrid online events, more interactive and collaborative training, an ecosystem-based approach to workplaces, and proactive and inclusive networking.
