In order to meet these ambitious goals\, new renewable energy sources and new energy infrastructure connecting renewable energy resources to the grid or supporting transitional electric generation are needed\, yet these infrastructure projects are meeting opposition. Natural gas pipelines also play a role in achieving a transition to a greater clean energy society. Recently\, the construction of the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) transmission line was halted after Maine voted against the corridor project in a referendum. Northern Pass\, another transmission project to tie clean energy from Canada to southern New England\, was similarly halted. The slow advancement of offshore wind and certain resistance to solar projects are further complicating our ability to meet the energy goals that have been set for the period between 2030 and 2050. \nCome hear experts discuss their experiences and perspectives on siting new renewable and electric transmission facilities necessary to meet Climate Change goals. \nWednesday\, June 22\, 9-11 am\nModerator: Tracy Adamski\, Vice President\, Tighe & Bond\nPanel: Stakeholder Perspective\nCaitlin Peale Sloan\, Vice President for Massachusetts\, Conservation Law Foundation\nMegan Aconfora\, Public Involvement Specialist\, Burns & McDonnell\nJennie Chen\, Senior Manager\, Clean Energy\, World Resources Institute\nJanet Gail Besser\, Vice President\, Regulatory and Business Innovation\, Smart Electric Power Alliance \nThursday\, June 23\, 1-3 pm\nModerator: Will Dodge\, Partner & Practice Group Chair\, Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC\nPanel: Developer Perspective\nTJ Roskelley\, Partner\, Anderson & Kreiger LLP\nJoe Rossignoli\, Consultant\, Ross Emergent LLC\nRob Jackson\, Director – Solar/Storage Project Development\, Ameresco\nSteve Elliott\, Director – Business Development & Marketing\, Enbridge URL:https://newiee.org/event/necas-the-challenges-to-achieving-climate-change-and-energy-infrastructure-goals-in-new-england-different-perspectives/2022-06-22/ LOCATION:MA CATEGORIES:Friends of NEWIEE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144751 CREATED:20220612T175306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220612T175306Z UID:19435-1655452800-1655485200@newiee.org SUMMARY:PHN's 2022 Passive Housing for All Conference DESCRIPTION:PHN 2022 is a national conference that will feature experts from across the interrelated disciplines of building efficiency\, social equity\, electrification\, and embodied carbon.

However\, it’s not all smooth sailing\, and our panelists will explore the impact of future development of the transmission system in achieving the states’ goals. This must-attend conference will take a deeper dive into electric grid planning and the outlook of our gas distribution network. You will hear about the state of the industry with renewable fuels as we unpack buzzwords and concepts like green gas and hydrogen and explore the potential opportunities for cleaner power. We have designed panels to discuss the end-user perspective\, too. With advanced metering being key to a modern grid\, how can companies leverage big data to achieve better product options for customers?

In fact\, it is often said that “People do not leave bad jobs; they leave bad managers.” We have all heard stories about the impact of toxic and/or ineffective bosses. \nPerhaps less frequently discussed are great bosses. What makes a boss extraordinary? How do talented managers boost their team member’s careers\, confidence\, and/or opportunities? How can you identify one of these unicorns when you have the opportunity to select a future manager? In the absence of a supportive manager\, how can you leverage other relationships to enable your career growth? The panelists will address these questions and more as they reflect on formative experiences in their own careers. The event will be moderated by Laurie Bohn\, a leadership development professional\, founder of TalentVivo and WEST Advisory Board member. \nWhether you seek perspective on your current environment\, want to understand what to look for in a future manager\, or you are looking to refine your leadership philosophy\, we hope you’ll join WEST on April 26th for this thought-provoking discussion. \nPanelists Include:\n– Heike Keilhack\, CSO\, Ribon Therapeutics\n– Kristine McKinney\, Executive Director\, Moderna Genomics\n– Mariana Nacht\, CSO\, Logic Bio URL:https://newiee.org/event/wests-career-growth-spotlight-how-a-great-manager-can-support-your-career-aspirations/ LOCATION:MA CATEGORIES:Friends of NEWIEE ORGANIZER;CN="Women in the Enterprise of Science & Techology (WEST)":MAILTO:info@WESTorg.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220426T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220426T191500 DTSTAMP:20260403T144751 CREATED:20220315T013131Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220315T013131Z UID:18942-1650994200-1651000500@newiee.org SUMMARY:SWEP CT's Take a Hike with SWEP DESCRIPTION:SWEP CT is pleased to invite members to join them on an easy hike at Wadsworth Falls State Park.
