U.S.-based geothermal association Geothermal Rising (formerly GRC) has appointed five new members to its Board of Directors going into the new year.

Geothermal Rising (formerly Geothermal Resources Council) announces the appointment of five new members to its Board of Directors. All five appointees have been selected based on their wealth of experience, industry knowledge, and commitment to advancing Geothermal Rising’s mission.

“Congratulations to all our new Directors who start on the Board in January. We have a busy program in the New Year with our webinar series starting, the launch of our new website, and preparations for San Diego 2021 getting into full swing, amongst many others,” said Will Pettitt, Geothermal Rising Executive Director. “I’d like to thank all the Directors that have been with us the past two years through some amazing changes to the organization and through the difficulties this year with COVID-19. I’d also like to thank all our candidates for the Board this year; it was a very strong and talented group. As we transition into the New Year we will have a much reduced and efficient Board size and will be needing many volunteers to help advise and guide the organization and our program. Anybody interested to help should reach out to us. Looking forward to a bright New Year for geothermal.”

The five newly elected Geothermal Rising Board Members include:

  • Nicole Lautze, Academic Seat
  • Mark Gran, Utility Seat
  • Jericho Reyes, Developer Seat
  • Laure Mora, At Large Seat
  • Doug Hollett, At Large Seat

As Geothermal Rising enters 2021, we will focus on our core purpose of helping to elevate and build our geothermal community and expanding the public’s awareness, understanding, and perception of geothermal energy. If you are a professional, student, or company in the geothermal industry, please consider joining our association to help make this possible.
