About Ben Edgerly Walsh
Since 2012, I have run the energy program for VPIRG, Vermont\'s largest environmental advocacy organization. As Program Director, I have led campaigns on issues from establishing Vermont\'s groundbreaking renewable energy standard, to expanding our net metering program, to establishing nation-leading appliance efficiency standards and defending Vermont\'s energy efficiency work from attacks from the right. At VPIRG, I work to research, identify and advance clean energy policy solutions. Before taking over our energy program, I was our Field Director. Prior to coming to VPIRG I learned the organizing trade in Green Corps, working with National Environmental Trust, Environment America and the Oregon Natural Desert Association, and later serving as Green Corps’ recruitment director.
