Fresh Energy’s Board of Directors hires Dr. Margaret Cherne-Hendrick as Chief Executive Officer [[link removed]]
Dear John,
I’m writing to you today with some exciting news! We are thrilled to share with you that the search for a new Chief Executive Officer has concluded with the Board of Directors unanimously voting to hire Dr. Margaret Cherne-Hendrick.
Fresh Energy is driven and dedicated to leading in the face of unprecedented challenges to advance climate and clean energy progress. Our leadership shines through in our work to pull the highest and best policy levers to enact change and through the staff who commit their time, energy, and passion to these efforts. This is just one of the reasons we are so excited about Margaret as the organization’s next CEO!
Margaret has been on staff at Fresh Energy for seven years and in her time at the organization has served as a thought leader, accomplished fundraiser, and strategic policy expert, helping to shape how Fresh Energy makes progress on equitable clean energy and climate policy while also growing relationships. Check out the full announcement here on our website to learn more about Margaret, the search process, and beyond. [[link removed]]
We hope you can join us in celebrating Margaret and Fresh Energy at our upcoming Lagers and Legislation [[link removed]] party on May 21 at Urban Growler in Saint Paul. Register [[link removed]] to get the scoop directly from Margaret and Fresh Energy’s legislative advocacy team while socializing with other clean energy stakeholders. And don’t worry if you can’t make it! There will be many more opportunities to meet Margaret including at our Fresh Frolic [[link removed]] on July 15 and at the Benefit Breakfast on September 30 (registration coming soon).
We are at a critical time in our history and must keep fighting to advance clean energy policy that takes on the climate crisis. Fresh Energy plays a pivotal role leading this work in Minnesota through our unrelenting advocacy — and we remain committed to ensuring this leadership continues and that we also provide a defensive xxxxxx against policies that aim to undo the progress we’ve already made.
Thank you for being part of the Fresh Energy community as we embark on this exciting new chapter. We’re so glad to have you by our side as we welcome Margaret into this new role!
Sincerely,
