About this Event

Women are driving the clean energy transition across the Pacific Northwest — and this evening is for them, and for everyone who wants to support and accelerate that work.

Connecting with Power: Women in Clean Energy Leadership brings together leaders from utilities, renewables, policy, and innovation for an evening of real conversation, meaningful connection, and community. There's something intentional about gathering women energy leaders inside the walls of a global wind energy company. That's not a backdrop. That's a statement.

Whether you're an established leader, an emerging professional, or an ally who believes diverse leadership builds a stronger energy future — this event is for you.
