The board of directors of Energy Trust of Oregon will host a public reception and meeting in Pendleton in July and is inviting the public, including customers of Pacific Power, Cascade Natural Gas and Avista.
On Tuesday, July 23 at 7:30 p.m., a public welcome reception will be held at the Pendleton Center for the Arts. At the reception, Energy Trust Executive Director Michael Colgrove will invite public comment on the organization’s draft 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. Members of Energy Trust’s board and staff will be available to answer questions about the draft strategic plan and hear public comment. Pendleton Mayor John Turner is also expected to attend.
This reception will be an opportunity for members of the public to engage in Energy Trust’s strategic planning process, which happens every five years. The draft 2020-2024 Strategic Plan builds on the organization’s 17-year history in serving residents and businesses with clean energy solutions, including the more than 7,000 sites served in Umatilla County since 2002. For the next five years, Energy Trust will continue to invest utility customer funding in low-cost energy efficiency and clean, renewable power for people and businesses.
On Wednesday, July 24, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., a public board meeting will take place at Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, which celebrates the history, culture and heritage of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. At the meeting, the board will discuss Energy Trust’s draft 2020-2024 strategic plan, program updates and a charter for Energy Trust’s proposed diversity advisory council.
Energy Trust’s board of directors is made up of non-stakeholder volunteers from communities across Oregon and from a variety of industries. The board sets the strategic direction, policies and budget for Energy Trust and offers independent perspectives.
Energy Trust of Oregon is an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to help utility customers benefit from saving energy and generating renewable power.
