Another evening with these InPower{ED} Women last week did NOT disappoint! And, we should give a big shoutout to James Marlow, with Southface, for allowing us to gather on its lovely rooftop on this gorgeous spring evening. If you're a woman in the metro Atlanta area, in the utility, solar or renewables industries, please reach out. We'd love for you to join us!

Our latest episode of The Sunnyside is "hot off the press". And, one of our Sunnyside listeners recently sent us an article titled, "Giving Women Support to Engineer the Renewable Energy Future", from PV Magazine. It was quite thought-provoking, and rang quite true. That led to a conversation with Velo Solar's Michelle Van Enige, P.E. She could absolutely connect with a number of points made in that article. With that being the basis of the conversation, it took off from there. Take a listen!

As we work our way through Women's History Month, Velo Solar strives to lift women up, shining a bright light on all of the hard work they do and the impacts they are making. We proudly support The Sunnyside, a podcast for impactful women in the solar industry. We further support a networking group we helped to form called InPower{ED} Women, allowing women in the solar, renewables and utility spaces in the Metro Atlanta area to make connections, mentor others and broaden relationships among these groups. With that spirit in mind, we'd also like to share this article, showcasing women from all over the world, who are working tirelessly to create change. We salute you!

Meeting new friends and reconnecting with long-time solar advocates from Georgia at SEIA's Tax and Finance Seminar in New York City! What a fabulous event, filled with top-notch presenters, and the Women's Luncheon was so incredible. Abby Hopper does such a fantastic job of bringing women together for networking and mentorship, and this event was no different. She even asked ladies new to the industry to come forward...and then asked "industry veterans" to connect with them. Sharon Lee proudly volunteered to connect with Maxi Bonito, with Telyon. Happy to assist you any way we can!

They had an all-star lineup of speakers, as they discussed plans for the next legislative session. Hottest topics were Education, Health Care and Transportation, including the inevitable EV Infrastructure that is in the works.
