The N:OW for Net-Zero Steering Committee
Navigating the vast landscape of climate resilience, FES recognizes the need for a compass that not only directs but ensures fairness and equity in all our actions. Enter our Steering Committee — a collective of credible and educated individuals who amplify our mission with their insights. They bridge gaps between educators, students, subject matter experts, and community leaders, ensuring that our initiatives are both impactful and equitable. More than simply guidance, they bring a meticulous lens to funding decisions, ensuring that projects receiving our support reflect genuine potential and align with our mission.
