CleanTech Alliance committees are a popular way to get engaged and meet other Alliance members while helping to build the region’s cleantech economy. Each committee is led by a member of the CleanTech Alliance Board of Directors. You must be an Alliance member to participate.
Members who are interested in joining a committee can contact Rachelle Ames for more information.
Economic Development Committee
The CleanTech Alliance Economic Development Committee convenes members interested in sharing and collaborating on economic development, innovation, entrepreneurship and cleantech consortia planning. This committee serves to connect the cleantech ecosystem and members to regional economic development priorities, challenges, initatives and strategies. This committee also gets a first look at new members, sponsors, prospects and partners and is ideal for business development and outreach professionals.
The Membership Committee meets on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 2:30 – 3:15 PM Pacific. If you are interested in joining, contact Rachelle Ames.
Government Affairs Committee
The CleanTech Alliance Government Affairs Committee analyzes public policy issues relevant to our diverse membership, then articulates recommendations to the Board of Directors for an Alliance position. It is through these efforts that the strength of a collective industry voice can have greater impact than any singular voice.
The Government Affairs Committee meets on the first Monday of the month from 3:00 to 4:30 PM Pacific. For more information, contact Lindsay McCormick or Mel Clark.

Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) Committee
The CleanTech Alliance is reaffirming its commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) by assembling a committee to help us evaluate our progress towards our goals. The JEDI committee helps us to ensure that all our work is grounded in our JEDI objectives, from our hiring practices, to selecting speakers for events, to mentoring and more.
The JEDI Committee meets quarterly. If you are interested in being a part of this group or want to recommend a great candidate, please contact Mel Clark.
Workforce Development Committee
By collaborating with businesses, educational institutions, and policymakers, the committee will identify key skill gaps, develop targeted training programs, and foster career pathways in clean energy and sustainability.
Through this strategic focus, the committee will enhance:
• workforce readiness
• support economic growth
• drive innovation in the clean tech industry
The Workforce Development Committee meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month. If you are interested in joing this group please contact Blake Myer.
