“We are thrilled to be able to present another stelllar topic this month. Our guest speaker will be Meg Gluckman, Seattle City Light’s Solar America Cities Coordinator.

Meg has experience designing and installing solar in the U.S. and in Central America, has worked with various renewable energy nonprofits and consultant companies. She has a BS in Environmental Engineering and a Masters of Business Administration in Sustainable Business from the Bainbridge Graduate Institute.

Seattle’s Solar America City grant is helping to address barriers to widespread solar use in Seattle. Seattle City Light collaborates with a team of City departments and regional partners to increase solar energy education and outreach, address economic hurdles to solar, improve the interconnection process, integrate solar into city planning efforts, and to create new programs such as Community Solar.

At our monthly meeting September 24th, Meg will talk about both the concept of Community Solar and the annual Solar Home Tour happening the first weekend in October: Saturday October 3, 2009, 10am – 4pm.

We welcome everyone to our meeting, this will be another great one.”
