Millville Partners

The New England Clean Energy Council's Clean Energy Fellowship Program (Co-Directed by Laura Bartsch and Helen Fairman of Millville Partners) was covered by Boston radio station WBUR in a story on the "green bubble", later picked up by National Public Radio's Marketplace. Listen to the WBUR story here, or listen to it on Marketplace here.

Millville Partners will be leading a panel at the November, 2008 Greenbuild Conference, the theme of which will be "Revolutionary Green".  The panel, entitled "Fueling the Revolution: New England's Clean Energy Cluster", will include Nick d'Arbeloff, Executive Director of the New England Clean Energy Council; Rob Pratt, Senior Vice President of the Kendall Foundation; and Warren Leon, Senior Advisor at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and former Director of the Renewable Energy Trust . Greenbuild, the annual conference of the US Green Building Council, is expected to draw more than 25,000 attendees to the Boston Convention Center from November 19-21, 2008. Millville Partners' panel is one of only 90 sessions selected from over 1,500 proposals.

Laura Bartsch and Helen Fairman have been retained by the New England Clean Energy Council to serve as Co-Directors of the Council's Clean Energy Fellowship Program. The 3-month program educates successful entrepreneurs from other sectors in clean energy technology, policy and markets through a 20-hour-a-week program of seminars, site visits, case studies, networking events, field trips (including a trip to the National Renewable Energy Lab), and capstone projects. Laura and Helen were brought on board in April to manage the development and execution of the curriculum, the application and selection process, communications, and all aspects of the program.
