Becoming ... a leader for gender equity

This conversation was released as an episode of the In the Green Chair podcast on March 8th.

How do I challenge gender issues in the energy sector? What skills can I use to navigate energy management as a non-male identifying person? Join us for a bonus Becoming x In the Green Chair event, featuring Megan Bennett to learn about energy management and gender.

Megan Bennett is passionate about solutions for a clean energy transition that prioritize equality, diversity, and justice. She has worked in energy efficiency, conservation, and climate action for over fifteen years. As Director of Program Operations at Summerhill she currently oversees the delivery of innovative residential and commercial energy efficiency programs for clients across Canada.

In 2019, she launched Plugged In, a podcast that amplifies the work of diverse women and their stories and visions for a low carbon future.
