Welcome to Women In Sustainable Energy
WISE is a Denver-area organization providing training, leadership and professional development, networking, mentoring and education for women in the sustainable energy field.
Mission:
WISE promotes education, mentoring and networking for women in Colorado in the evolving field of sustainable energy.
We welcome members from all sectors of the sustainable energy field, including those working for corporations, not-for-profits, community organizations, vendor/supplier companies, government, public interest groups and academia. WISE members range from established senior leaders in the field, to middle management, new entrants and those interested in working in sustainable energy.

SEPTEMBER: THE PARADIGM PROJECT
Always thought that super efficient, sustainable housing was only for the well-to-do? Take another look.

Slated to break ground in Lafayette in late 2010, the project is a collaborative effort of the BCHA, All American Homes, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and others to develop affordable housing with near zero and potentially zero net energy consumption.
