Kristel Porter

I served as the Executive Director of a North Minneapolis Neighborhood Association for 5 years and the Executive Director of a renewable energy nonprofit for four years. I am on the Sierra Club Executive Committee and serve on the Fresh Energy Board of Directors. I am working with Center for Energy & Environment to design the communications campaign around cold weather air source heat pumps for the entire state of Minnesota. I am working in partnership with the MN Dept. of Commerce to streamline access to energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy resources for Minnesotan residents who are receiving energy assistance. With my connections and experience working with organizations, government, and community all over the state, my network will serve as an asset to our cooperative.
