For several GRID IE volunteers the home of Beatrice Jones held special significance. Michelle Eisenberg, Sheri Edwards and Deanna Jackson who all work at Wells Fargo participated in a Habitat for Humanity<\/a> women\u2019s building event on the house in Riverside, California which occurred in 2013. When the home was completed, Michelle remembered meeting the homeowner, Ms. Jones and talking about the project. Neither Michelle nor Beatrice thought they would meet again on another volunteer project on Ms. Jones\u2019 home.<\/p>\n

Their paths did cross again, a result of Ms. Jones interest in solar energy. \u201cI had always wondered about solar and if it was right for me,\u201d she said. \u201cHabitat put me in touch with GRID Alternatives and I began receiving their newsletters.\u201d Several months later Jones met with GRID\u2019s outreach team and began the application process. \u201cI met twice with GRID, they went over all my questions and then my solar system was approved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Ms. Jones, Wells Fargo was also working with GRID Alternatives. The Wells Fargo Foundation<\/a> has sponsored GRID events for several years with projects ranging from Tribal installations, Solarthons and the Women in Solar initiative that brought eight Wells Fargo women to the home of Beatrice Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so happy to come back and finish the job at Beatrice\u2019s house,\u201d remarked Michelle Eisenberg who works in Wells Fargo\u2019s Learning and Development team. \u201cI have volunteered for GRID on other occasions including a project in Jurupa Valley. It was a surprise to show up at Beatrice\u2019s again and see my work. I can remember painting the eaves. It is so nice to realize my efforts have made a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wells Fargo Foundation sponsored GRID\u2019s Women in Solar<\/a> event with a $15,000 grant as part of their community development program. \u201cAn investment in renewable energy through GRID aligns perfectly with our vision of promoting greener buildings,\u201d said Eisenberg. The contribution reflects a commitment to both supporting women in an industry that is growing at over 20 percent per year and an investment in clean, renewable energy. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
