In this final episode for Season 1 of the Women in Utilities Podcast, I'm joined by Britt Ide.
Britt is an engineer and a lawyer who has over 25 years experience in the energy and utilities industry and currently serves on the Board of Directors or on Advisory Boards for a number of public and private companies and non-profit organisations. These include the Board of Directors for NorthWestern Energy, ATLIS Motor Vehicles, the Energy Policy Institute, and Hot Rock Energy Research Organisation and the Advisory Board for 3 Degrees.
Britt shares with me what being on a Board entails, the skills and experience that you need,
and how to find Board opportunities. While serving on a Board maybe something for the latter part of your career, Britt shares some tips on how you can start to prepare yourself for Board positions early on. Britt is very passionate about encouraging women to pursue careers in engineering and increasing the number of women and the diversity of Boards. She has been involved in a lot of initiatives to make an impact in these areas and in this episode she shares some of the resources and programs that are available to women interested in board opportunities. Links to all of the resources Britt talks about can be found below.
