A Familiar Face Takes the Reigns
If you have attended a Solar Oregon event in the last couple of years you have most likely met Claire Carlson. Starting as an intern in 2009, Claire has worked her way up through the Solar Oregon ranks as the Education Coordinator, Program Manager, and now as the new Executive Director, replacing Markus Stoffel who has moved on to the financial planning sector.
In her time at Solar Oregon, Claire has worked to expand Solar Oregon's statewide reach by building partnerships with municipalities, educational institutions, and other nonprofits. She has contributed many hours and many miles to Oregon's recent solar successes including the Solarize Pendleton effort, Solar Now! University, and dozens of workshops in every corner of the state.
"I am very lucky to be a part of Oregon's solar community and a member of an organization that has been educating and advocating for Oregon's most abundant renewable resource for over 30 years. Solar energy plays an important part in our state's energy future and I look forward to helping the voice of all Oregonians who support solar energy be heard."
