The MIT Energy Club and the Yale Center for Business and the Environment are pleased to present the fourth annual installment of the Carbon Finance Speaker Series, Blueprint for Efficiency. This series of free, public webinars will feature the latest developments in energy efficiency policy, investment, technology, and community engagement.
Ludy Biddle, Executive Director of NeighborWorks of Western Vermont (NWWVT) will share strategies and lessons learned for engaging communities on energy efficiency upgrades. For years, NWWVT has been supporting energy retrofits in low-income households as a means of saving money for homeowners concerned about every penny. NWWVT promotes home energy retrofits through direct, personal, neighbor-to-neighbor contact, and provides homeowners with a path to completion through their "one-stop-shop." The webinar will provide details on community outreach plans and the benefits of using neighbor-to-neighbor efforts.
Ludy Biddle is Executive Director of NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, located in West Rutland. She has more than 25 years of experience in non-profit management beginning at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., and then at the National Endowment for the Arts before she and her family moved to Vermont in 1982. She was appointed Executive Director at NeighborWorks in 2001.
Ms. Biddle's education includes a Bachelor of Arts from George Washington University and studies in leadership at the University of Minnesota, the Snelling Center's Vermont Leadership Institute and Achieving Excellence at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
The Blueprint for Efficiency series is supported by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Energy Club. The series will take place from November 2010 through May 2011. It will be free and open to the public through online webcasts that will be conducted on a weekly basis from 12pm to 1pm EST. Each presentation will be recorded and made available to the global community through Yale University on iTunes U.
