At 92 years of age, Elizabeth Feygo is more vivacious, astute and full of life than most people half her age. Elizabeth lived in Buffalo, New York most of her early years before moving to California to be closer to her two adult daughters. Although she worked in a broad range of fields, the common thread of all her previous jobs were customer related. She worked as a waitress, in a Social Security office, and even at a carnival serving ice cream. It is very clear that Elizabeth enjoys working with people. Her wit, charm, charisma and warmth is infectious to everyone who encounters her. \u201cI like to stay active,\u201d said Elizabeth. \u201cI have always preferred jobs that kept me on my feet rather than being stuck behind a desk sitting all day.\u201d<\/p>\n

When her youngest daughter Lisa began working at GRID Alternatives<\/a>, Elizabeth admired her exceptional work ethics and drive, even despite challenges that sometimes come with raising eight children. \u201cI\u2019ve always been her support system,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth had no knowledge of the solar industry prior to her daughter working at GRID. However, that quickly changed when her volunteer experience began. In the beginning stages prior to the establishment of office space for GRID IE, she volunteered to help sending out mailers from the kitchen table at her home.<\/p>\n

Her daughter Lisa now serves as manager of GRID IE\u2019s Tribal Program<\/a>, and Elizabeth has enjoyed the many trips she has taken with her daughter over the years, assisting with outreach in locations including Lake Havasu, Bishop, and throughout Coachella Valley. In addition, she has also attended solar installations, city council meetings, and various presentations throughout the Inland Empire.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy being a part of GRID\u2019s mission to help low income families by helping them to reduce their electricity costs, while also benefiting the environment,\u201d she said. Elizabeth mentioned GRID is also at the forefront of breaking down barriers that used to limit women from being in fields such as solar technology, through its Women in Solar Program<\/a>. \u201cI think it is great that women are able to do jobs that in earlier years were not readily accessible to us,\u201d stated Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

GRID offers extensive hands-on training<\/a> in multiple fields of solar technology. GRID equips volunteers and trainees with important knowledge about the solar industry, as well as the ability to obtain field experience through our Team Leader Program<\/a>. Individuals who achieve Team Leader status can apply their experience to the NABCEP<\/a> installation professional certification.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would advise a person to work hard to obtain your goals and learn as much as you can. GRID has great programs for trainees to learn everything they need to know about solar technology.\u201d When Elizabeth is not volunteering for GRID, this amazing lady can be found enjoying a brisk walk through her neighborhood, swimming in the community pool, or even enjoying piano lessons.<\/p>\n
