Invenergy began our partnership with the organization in 2007 and Invenergy team members helped found the Chicago Chapter of WRISE in 2010. There are incredible experts, resources, and best practices that are already known – we want to be sure our partners have access to all they need to be successful in their DEIJ efforts.” Our hope is to ensure that each organization is not reinventing that work. WRISE Executive Director Kristen Graf notes, “The renewable energy and sustainability sector has made dramatic advancements in recent years and yet we are still at the tip of the iceberg and have a great deal of work ahead of us. WRISE is dedicated to building a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse energy sector and has had working sessions for diversity champions to learn about the status of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) efforts, share resources and expertise alongside partner organizations. Some of the organization’s most important projects are its annual Wind Power and Solar Power Fellowships, which provide individuals (particularly women and other marginalized genders) with the opportunity to attend annual industry conferences and trade shows. Today, WRISE has a grassroots network of nearly 15,000 members and hosts workshops, webinars, and programming through its local chapters and alongside industry events each year. WRISE was founded in 2005 and was initially called WoWE, or Women of Wind Energy. WRISE is a network of sustainable energy professionals dedicated to promoting the education, professional development, and advancement of women. To celebrate Women’s History Month, we are proud to celebrate one of Invenergy’s longest-standing industry association partners, Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy, or WRISE.
