Each year the U.S. Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) initiative recognizes outstanding female leaders by honoring them at its annual C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium. This invitation-only event seeks to raise the visibility of women in this sector of the energy industry by honoring those in mid-career leadership and achievement.
