Our featured speaker will be John Luft, a Branch Manager and Regional Sales Manager with ReVision Energy, a leading solar installer operating in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts (revisionenergy.com). John works out of ReVision's "Liberty" (now Montville) branch. He started with the company, previously called Energyworks, in 2004 doing solar thermal installations. Since then, he has managed hundreds of residential and commercial solar projects. John has a B.S. from Unity College. This will be a great opportunity to learn about renewable energy opportunities and trends, including community solar farm development, in New England.  

KWE's Educator in Residence program: 
The Educator in Residence (EIR) program works with partner schools to embed one of KWE's Educators into a Maine school community from Thanksgiving through Patriots’ Day. The program is at no cost to the school.

The EIR program is possible because of generous donors including the Shelby Cullom Davis Charitable Fund.

The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association is a broad-based community that educates about and advocates for organic agriculture, illuminating its inter­dependence with a healthy environment, local food production, and thriving communities.
