As part of our ongoing initiative to improve the
Silicon Valley chapter, this month, we are asking members to think consider
using the Net Impact community to offer help or ask for advice. In that same
spirit, the leadership team is considering offering career resources that are
specific to professionals. To help us understand your interest in pro-actively
managing your career, please take this survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3MS9SQT
Whether or not you
are a current job seeker, we encourage all members to take the survey, and
consider how they can contribute to the community.
Of course, there are
always other ways that you can get involved.

Save the Date: Net Zero: The Future of Clean
and Domestic Energy in Silicon Valley
Net Impact Silicon Valley
and Santa Clara U MBAs will be hosting a panel Friday, April 18,
on clean energy to discuss trends in clean energy, disruptive
innovations, political pressures and economic trends. Please save the date!
More about the event:
With an increase in natural gas
production, the clean energy sector is in flux. This year, many solar companies
have gone out of business, while making room for new solar technology. VCs are
increasingly seeking more “capital efficient” energy start-ups. Despite the
myriad changes in policy and economics, there is an urgent need to drive the
alternative energy revolution. Event Lead: Vish
Kulkarni
Panel topics will include:
- What is a realistic goal for achieving clean energy in Silicon Valley? How
do we get there?
- What major political or economic challenges will hinder a more widespread
adoption of clean energy?
- How does someone make a successful career transition into the Clean Tech
industry?
