In episode 2 of the SOapbox, your host Mindy Prefling, Senior Manager of Client Services at Spencer Ogden, speaks to Kristen Graf, Executive Director at Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy (WRISE). 

Kristen shares her insights on the state of diversity in the renewables space, drawing on more than 15 years of experience in various roles in the sector. We hear more about her career growth, her experience with policy and implementation, and what made her realize that change needs to happen in the industry. 

Ultimately, the need for diversity and inclusion is more than a checklist exercise. In this episode, Kristen offers actionable advice for industry leaders to consider and provides a realistic outlook for the future of a more diversified renewables industry.
