Join us for a conversation between Mary Powell, president and CEO of Green Mountain Power, and Elizabeth Wilson, environmental studies professor at Dartmouth.
Ms. Powell is nationally recognized as an energy visionary, positioning Green Mountain Power (GMP) as a leading energy transformation company since being named chief executive ten years ago. She has implemented
a strategic and comprehensive restructuring of the Vermont company and achieved a widespread cultural transformation and service quality improvement. Under Ms. Powell’s leadership, GMP became the first utility in the world to become a B Corp, displaying a
commitment to use energy as a force for good. GMP was named one of the top 10 energy companies in the world by Fast Company magazine in 2017.
Dr. Wilson is a professor in Dartmouth’s Environmental Studies Department and the inaugural director of the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society. She studies how energy systems are changing
in the face of new technologies and new societal pressures, with an emphasis on how institutions support and thwart energy system transitions and on the interplays between technology innovation, policy creation, and institutional decision making. Her recent
books include Energy Law and Policy and Smart Grid (R)evolution: Electric Power Struggles.
This event is co-sponsored by the Montshire Museum of Science, Upper Valley Sierra Club Group, New Hampshire and Vermont Sierra Clubs, Student Conservation Association (SCA), Arthur L. Irving Institute
for Energy and Society at Dartmouth College, and New England Women in Energy and the Environment (NEWIEE).

Northern Stage presents Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning
Disgraced at the Barrette Center for the Arts
Date: February 28 to March 18
Time: Varies
Location:
Barrette Center for the Arts
Cost:
Tickets start at $15 for students and $34 for adults
Ayad Akhtar’s
Disgraced runs live on stage at the Barrette Center for the Arts in White River Junction, VT, February 28 - March 18. For tickets and information, call (802) 296-7000
or visit www.northernstage.org. Tickets start at $15 for students
and $34 for adults. Disgraced
confronts issues of race and identity and how we relate to one another in a
contentious political climate. Amir Kapoor, a successful Pakistani-American lawyer who is rapidly
moving up the corporate ladder while distancing himself from his cultural roots, is caught up in a
case against a local Imam. The perception of Amir’s involvement in the defense of the Imam
ripples through his work, his marriage to his white wife Emily, and ultimately explodes at a dinner
party with his African American business partner and her Jewish art dealer husband. The
couples’ discussion turns to questions of religious faith, and what begins as simple dinner
conversation escalates into something far more damaging.
Disgraced ultimately reveals the
prejudices and racial biases often simmering just below the surface. For any questions please contact
