REGISTER NOW for the 2024 Veterans Advanced Energy Summit on October 2, 2024 at the Atlantic Council's office in Washington, DC! For the 2024 edition of the Summit, leaders and experts will explore key issues at the nexus of energy and defense while celebrating the contributions of veterans to US national security through careers in the advanced energy sector. For more information, contact us at [email protected].

If you still haven't applied to the next cohort of our #fellowship, then come join us for this Q&A session with our staff Chase Thalheimer and Kevin Doffing. We will review the future of the program, what our fellows experience, and what you can hope to gain from participating in the program. If you have a friend that should apply make sure to tag them in the comments. #energysecurity is #nationalsecurity

The application for the 5th #Fellowship cohort is now live. This immersive year-long experience will expose the selected fellows to thought leaders from the #energytransition across #industry, #government, #academia, and the #military. The culmination of the program will be the presentation of a capstone #policyproposal our fellows will write, alongside their assigned mentors. In order to continue to build more executive networking opportunities the fellows this year will have the opportunity to meet the outgoing fellows at our annual summit in Washington DC this coming fall.

Check out the great work that Samantha Sawmiller, MPA one fo our current fellows is doing in our communities to advance the #energytransition.

In May we are going to be announcing the next application opportunity for the 5th cohort of our #Fellowship with the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center. If you are an industry professional attending the American Clean Power Association (ACP) conference next week come meet our Director, Kevin Doffing and several of our current and past fellows. They will share their experiences and how the program has impacted their careers.

How was Pine Gate Renewables able to grow its team by 3x during the pandemic while also ensuring nearly half of its team remained people who identify as women? I spoke with Eric Shangle, a Navy Veteran & Veterans Advanced Energy Project Fellow, about the company’s myriad successful people & culture programs, including its work toward greater pay transparency. Eric also shared about the company’s PRIDE Resource Group & clean energy career advice & resources for those who identify as LGBTQIA+. I really enjoyed learning about Pine Gate’s involvement with the Renewables Forward DEIJ initiative, as well as its support of the Arbor Day Foundation & GivePower, a non-profit focused on delivering clean energy & water within developing nations.
