POWERdrinks Energy & Renewables Networking Happy Hour (Jan 2026)

Join us at the Lucky Lab on NW Quimby!

This month, our guest speaker is:

Jessica Thiessen

SunRise Fairs (www.sunrisefairs.com). After 3 years of running annual Burien Solar Punk Festivals, the vision is ready to expand and help us all rise to meet the sun with fairness and fun at the center. We're formally going public next year with 3 events in King County (Seattle, WA). Her goal is to bring solar-powered events that engage communities where they're at with STEAM programming for all ages throughout the Cascadia region, then all the way up and down the I-5 corridor, before pushing east.

POWERdrinks monthly meet-ups provide a welcoming and casual opportunity to meet peers, share ideas and opportunities, and educate colleagues about projects and initiatives of interest to the group. We welcome women (including women of transgender experience) and individuals who identify as female, femme, non-binary, gender expansive, transgender, or a representative of a marginalized gender. All people working in a field related to energy, solar, or other renewables and interested in building a more diverse energy sector, are invited, as are students and developing professionals who are looking for perspectives on joining the clean energy sector.

POWERpnw is a program of the Oregon Solar Energy Education Fund (OSEEF) that is focused on building a community of individuals who identify as female and/or gender diverse in energy and renewables and increasing inclusiveness through initiatives around workforce development, community building, and empowerment.
