NESEA Recognizes James Moriarty, Winner of the The Kate Goldstein Emerging Leader Award
A message from James:
I am so very honored and humbled to be recognized with NESEA’s Kate Goldstein Emerging Leader Award. NESEA has played a foundational role in my life and career development in sustainability and energy efficiency and I thank all the NESEA community for their support.
I was first introduced to NESEA while studying engineering in college. I found the BuildingEnergy Boston conference which happened to be during spring break. Being a student and not tied to continuing education credits, I was instantly drawn into the Whole Systems in Action track where I found the conversations routinely focused on ‘why.’ The most influential voices in NESEA had gravitated towards these conversations and were leading the charge in finding the interconnections in their work and understanding the wider impacts of their choices. These are the conversations that are the background for nearly all NESEA programs.
