 Message
from the Chair
Hello
-
I'm afraid this is quite the belated introduction - my
name is Carole Mars, and I'm the chair of the Arizona
Solar Energy Association this year. I work for a group
called the Sustainability Consortium, a public-private
partnership in the Global Institute of Sustainability
at ASU. We are looking at the issues surrounding effective
communication of sustainability issues to consumers in
a retail setting. Understanding how to live with and within
one's environment is my passion and my livelihood. In
Arizona, learning to live in one's environment means learning
to live with the sun and thrive. More

About
ASEA
The
Arizona Solar Energy Association (ASEA) is the Arizona
affiliate of the American
Solar Energy Society. Founded in the 1970s as a technical
association of early solar technology professionals, the
group has evolved into a diverse assemblage of individuals
who share a common interest in sustainable human activity
and the use of solar energy. ASEA reaches out to both
professionals and non-professionals alike.
As
a founding and sustaining organizational member of the
Arizona Solar Center,
ASEA provides a platform for its members to educate and
advocate for a sustainable future for Arizona.
Depending
upon local preferences, local chapters may have meetings,
workshops, a newsletter and other activities. Members
are active in industry associations, the Arizona Corporation
Commission (ACC), the State Legislature, the Maricopa
Association of Governments (MAG), the Pima Association
of Governments (PAG), the Governor’s Solar Energy Advisory
Council (SEAC), and other groups.
ASEA
sponsors, hosts, and participates in events throughout
Arizona that focus on education and demonstration of appropriate
solar technologies. Whether it's a solar cook-off, a seminar
on how to size a photovoltaic power system, or a workshop
on implementing passive solar design, ASEA offers many
opportunities for its members to learn about the applications
of solar energy and to show others how they have applied
their knowledge to benefit themselves and our environment.
Your
donation supports ASEA efforts. ASEA is entirely a volunteer,
non-profit organization and welcomes new supporters. Whether
you simply want to support our efforts with your donation
or want to also become actively involved, we welcome your
participation. Please join us in our efforts to achieve
a sustainable future for Arizona.
