"Message from the 'Mothership' - An Overview of Texas Solar Energy Society Projects, Progress, and a Look Ahead".
Presenter:
Patrice 'Pete' Parsons is the Executive Director for TXSES.
About Our Presentation:
Pete Parsons, Executive Director of the Texas Solar Energy Society will provide a statewide view of projects, plans, and goals for 2022 and beyond.
Of particular note is the Internship Program where Texas students were invited to submit applications to be an intern with solar energy companies and organizations throughout Texas. While we at NTREG saw a "North Texas" view of this program, it was conducted statewide .. and was very successful! Pete will give an update on the Internships, plus training programs under consideration, and many other topics.
