Darlene Snow has been appointed Executive Director of the Wind Energy Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based organization founded in 2010 to educate the public about the benefits of wind power.
Bringing to the Foundation over 20 years of experience leading public education campaigns at several communications firms, Snow most recently headed up the Industry Affairs and Energy practices at Ogilvy Washington, where she created a number of award-winning campaigns as a senior vice president and group head. Prior to Ogilvy, Snow led the technology practice at Edelman Los Angeles during the dot-com boom, working with a number of leading technology and Internet companies. The Wind Energy Foundation is focusing in its first year on U.S. education programs, however, its scope is global, and the campaigns will ultimately be geared to reach an international audience. In addition to supporting research projects and wind education programs, the Foundation is a partner in WindMade, a new labeling program for companies, facilities, and products that source at least 25 per cent of their electricity from wind energy.
