| ORGANIZATION MISSION - CONT'D: | EESI HAS BEEN WORKING WITH EXPERTS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND POLICY TO HELP SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH POLICYMAKERS IN CONGRESS. AS AN INDEPENDENT AND TRUSTED NONPARTISAN POLICY INSTITUTION, EESI HAS MORE THAN 38 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TURNING COMPLEX CONCEPTS INTO UNDERSTANDABLE INFORMATION, INVITING DECISION MAKERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND FIND SOLUTIONS TO ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IN HUMAN HISTORY, CLIMATE CHANGE. IN ITS WORK, EESI CONDUCTS CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFINGS, RELEASES WHITE PAPERS AND PODCASTS, AND PUBLISHES WEB ARTICLES, VIDEOS, AND NEWSLETTERS. ALL OF THESE RESOURCES ARE FREELY AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE, WWW.EESI.ORG, AND FOR OUR EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS. |
| PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS 4A - CONT'D: | EESI HAS LONG HELD DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND JUSTICE (DEIJ) AS CORE VALUES AND HAS TAKEN ACTIVE STEPS TO PUT THESE VALUES INTO PRACTICE. OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND JUSTICE STATEMENT, PUBLISHED IN 2021, GUIDES OUR WORK BY ESTABLISHING OBJECTIVES AND MEASURING PROGRESS AS WE BETTER INCORPORATE DEIJ PRINCIPLES ACROSS THE FULL SUITE OF EESI ACTIVITIES: TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, POLICY WORK, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OPERATIONS. WE ARE AMPLIFYING THE VOICES OF BLACK, INDIGENOUS, PEOPLE OF COLOR, LEGACY, AND FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE FACING CLIMATE IMPACTS. WE ARE SUPPORTING PROGRAMS THAT INCREASE ENERGY AFFORDABILITY AND EXPAND CLEAN ENERGY ACCESS IN THESE COMMUNITIES. AS PART OF OUR INTENSIFIED FOCUS ON DEIJ ISSUES, WE PUBLISHED AN OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ON OUR WEBSITE. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IS THE CONCEPT THAT ALL PEOPLE - REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, OR INCOME - HAVE AN EQUAL RIGHT TO STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND TO BE INFORMED OF AND INVOLVED IN DECISION-MAKING IMPACTING THEIR ENVIRONMENT. EESI'S BOARD AND STAFF ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT IN ENHANCING OUR COMMITMENTS TO DEIJ. EESI'S STAFF DEIJ WORKING GROUP MEETS ON A BIWEEKLY BASIS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO ADVANCE DEI ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION AND TO SHARE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES. UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE BOARD'S COMMITTEE ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION, EESI IS MAKING STEADY PROGRESS ON SEVERAL FRONTS: BOARD RECRUITMENT, STAFF AND INTERN RECRUITMENT, ADVISORY BOARD RECRUITMENT, DEMOGRAPHIC DATA COLLECTION AND REPORTING, EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION, BRIEFING PANEL COMPOSITION, AND COMMUNICATIONS. A CONCRETE EXAMPLE OF OUR DEIJ INITIATIVES WAS THE LAUNCH IN LATE 2021 OF OUR NEW SCHOLARSHIP FOR FUTURE CLIMATE LEADERS, WHICH AWARDS UP TO $5,000 EACH ACADEMIC YEAR TO AN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT PURSUING STUDIES RELEVANT TO ENVIRONMENTAL, CLEAN ENERGY, AND CLIMATE POLICY AT A HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY (HBCU) IN THE MID-ATLANTIC OR SOUTHERN REGION. IN ADDITION TO THE SCHOLARSHIP, EESI ALSO PROVIDES MENTORING AND CAREER ADVICE TO THE SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS. THE PROGRAM IS MANAGED BY UNCF (UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND), A LEADING PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATION. IN EARLY 2022, EESI ANNOUNCED THE FIRST RECIPIENT, A STUDENT AT NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL STATE UNIVERSITY. EESI STAFF SPEAK AND ADVISE ON POLICY OPTIONS RELATED TO CLIMATE, THE ENVIRONMENT, NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS, ENERGY, AGRICULTURE, BUILDINGS, HEALTH, TRANSPORTATION, AND EQUITY ISSUES. MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA OFTEN CALL ON EESI FOR INSIGHTS, QUOTES, AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION. EESI STAFF ARE ALSO OFTEN INVITED TO SPEAK AT A VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES. EESI REGULARLY WRITES ARTICLES AND OP-EDS FOR PUBLICATIONS, FURTHER EXTENDING THE REACH OF OUR MESSAGING. RICHARD L. OTTINGER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: EESI PROVIDES INTERNS WITH SUBSTANTIVE EXPERIENCES THAT HELP THEM START CAREERS IN CLIMATE, ENERGY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY WITH FEDERAL AGENCIES, ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND FORWARD-THINKING BUSINESSES. INTERNS GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE WORKINGS OF CONGRESS AND THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, CONTRIBUTE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS TO ARTICLES AND FACT SHEETS, AND LEARN ABOUT HOW A SUCCESSFUL, INCLUSIVE NONPROFIT LIKE EESI CARRIES OUT OUR WORK. EESI PAYS OUR INTERNS. MOREOVER, WE PROVIDE AN EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM, INCLUDING GUEST SPEAKERS WHO DISCUSS CAREER PLANNING, NETWORKING EVENTS WITH OTHER NONPROFITS, AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT LIKE EFFECTIVE RESUME WRITING. OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS NAMED AFTER EESI BOARD CHAIR EMERITUS RICHARD L. "DICK" OTTINGER, WHO REPRESENTED NEW YORK IN CONGRESS AND SHARED THE VISION THAT LED TO OUR FOUNDING. |
