On November 17 2011 the Clean Energy Council will hold its annual elections for board positions.
Although there is debate and difference of opinion in the industry about the tactics and effectiveness of the CEC at times, my personal view is “no-one is perfect”.
What I do see from the CEC is a big team of very hard working people, an amazing amount of effort and a long history of development and evolution; I have watched and been involved in this organisation’s growth for almost two decades. The CEC is also getting new CEO which will undoubtedly bring a breath of fresh air and enthusiasm to the organisation.
I am of the view that PV has an increasingly poignant role to play in the CEC and that it has been understated somewhat in recent times -although I recognise they have a diverse range of responsibilities and issues to address in a policy quagmire.
As I often say to my now voting age daughter, “stop whining, do some research and make your voice heard. Vote, goddammit!”
And the same applies to all eligible voters at the upcoming CEC election. If you want more focus on PV, make your voice heard and vote.
There are some quality people who have put their hands up to get involved this year (and it’s no mean feat being voluntary) and to me it demonstrates a firm and generous comitment to the future of our industry which we all benefit from.
I don’t know all the nominee’s but I do know: John Susa from Trina Solar, Oliver Hartley from Q Cells and Jeremy Rich from Energy Matters. These gentlemen deserve your support if you want more attention paid to PV.
