Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about Christine Hallquist and her story as a clean energy leader and disruptive innovator. 

From this week's article in a New York Times about Hallquist's run for Vermont governor and her transformative work in clean energy and beyond:

"As a candidate, Ms. Hallquist believes the electric grid -that vast reservoir of energy that powers everything from smartphones to sonogram machines - can, if managed correctly, fight all manner of social ills, among them rising global temperatures, rural poverty and the opioid epidemic."
