New Generation of Leadership for Renewable Energy Alaska Project

More than twenty years after he founded the Renewable Energy Alaska Project (REAP) as a statewide nonprofit association, Chris Rose is retiring this summer. To succeed him as Executive Director, REAP has chosen Cady Lister, who brings more than twenty years of experience in developing energy policies, programs, and projects.

“REAP’s board is thrilled to be handing the reins over to Cady Lister,” says Board Chair Ian Laing. “Cady’s deep roots in Alaska’s energy community, coupled with her broad skills and experience, ensure REAP is well positioned to continue its important work. We are confident in Cady’s leadership to take REAP into the future.”

Lister holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and an MBA, both from UAF. She previously worked as the Deputy Director and Chief Economist for the Alaska Energy Authority and as the Deputy Program Manager for the Portland Clean Energy Fund. Most recently, she has been working as the Senior Energy Advisor for Southeast Conference, providing guidance and oversight to their regional energy programs.
