It’s Nomination Time – Help Recognize Outstanding Women in Clean Energy

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.

Nominations for 2019 are now open.  The categories are: Advocacy, Business, Education, Entrepreneurship, Government, International, Law & Finance, and Research.

Anyone affiliated with the candidate through work, professional organizations, universities, community groups, etc. can make a nomination. However, the nominator should be very familiar with the accomplishments of their nominee.
