C3E Women in Clean Energy winner uses prize money to create a grassroots Colorado initiative
When Judy Dorsey, president of sustainable engineering and planning firm Brendle Group, won the U.S. Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) program’s Women in Clean Energy award at the inaugural symposium in September 2012, she knew she needed to do something with the $10,000 cash prize that would help spread the mission of C3E. She’s In Power (formerly Colorado C3E) has been going strong ever since, thanks to Judy’s gift and drive to empower women in clean energy.
