On November 13, Anne Hedges was awarded the Headwaters Award from the NW Energy Coalition (NWEC). The Headwaters Award is named after the headwaters of the Columbia River in Columbia Lake in B.C. and honors achievement and leadership by a person who is directly involved in NWEC and excels in advancing the group’s collective goals and mission.
NWEC is a great partner to MEIC and is key to providing expertise and regional perspective on energy related policy issues, particularly energy efficiency. For 40 years, NWEC has partnered with organizations such as MEIC across the Pacific Northwest to work with state and federal agencies, elected officials, and utilities to advance an affordable, equitable, clean energy system.
NWEC Executive Director Nancy Hirsh, pictured here with Anne, presented the award. Previous recipients of the award include MEIC’s former long-time executive director, Jim Jensen.
