Rebecca Foster

Rebecca grew up in rural New York State, served in the Peace Corps in Russia, and has built her career on a mission to tackle one of the world’s toughest challenges: advancing clean energy. She spent seven years at the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, a partnership of utilities and advocacy groups, before going to the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC) as a consultant in 2011. Now she’s at the helm of the nonprofit, working with utilities, manufacturers, and distributors to design renewable energy programs for towns and cities—particularly underserved and vulnerable communities—across the U.S.
