Come join us on December 10th at 12pm PST to dive into another aspect of the world of solar energy! During this webinar, we will hear from the regional nonprofit Spark Northwest about their work and role in clean energy. Spark Northwest envisions a transition to clean energy in our region that reduces carbon and prioritizes benefits for marginalized communities.

Speaker: Eriq Acosta, Project Manager at Spark Northwest: Eriq is a descendant of the Indigenous Peoples of North America (Mexican (Spanish and Indigenous), Dine’ and Pueblo roots) whose education and life has spanned throughout the United States. Eriq grew up an Urban Indian not knowing what that meant to be Indigenous until much later in life. It wasn’t until his early twenties that he started to explore and develop what it meant to be an Indigenous individual; community, culture, spirituality, family, food, and a connection to mother earth. This helped him realize his passion is in service to Indigenous communities and he’s honored to be part of the Spark Northwest team. Eriq works with communities in the Pacific Northwest to realize their clean energy goals.
