The Green Light
In this episode of The Green Light, Catherine spoke with Kelly Veney Darnell, COO of American Clean Power (ACP), about building more inclusive leadership pathways across the clean energy industry through initiatives like CLEANPOWER in Color and EmpowHER.
Kelly shared how CLEANPOWER in Color – taking place June 1–2 during CLEANPOWER in Houston – has already tripled its registrants year over year as more professionals seek opportunities for connection, mentorship, and career growth within clean energy. They also discussed ACP’s EmpowHER initiative, taking place August 5–7 in Charlotte, which helps women across the industry build leadership skills, community, and confidence navigating executive leadership, finance, salary negotiation, and career advancement.
They also discussed workforce development, the importance of visibility and representation in clean energy, and Kelly’s new LinkedIn Live series, Between Meetings with Kelly, where she shares candid insights from nearly two decades in executive leadership.
