New Mexico Chapter Celebrates 40 Years

This year the New Mexico Solar Energy Association (NMSEA), one of the American Solar Energy Society’s (ASES’) oldest, most active chapters, celebrates its founding 40 years ago with the premier of a 13-part television series at a festive event Dec. 9.

The gala premier, being held at Albuquerque’s South Broadway Cultural Center, will include an annual meeting of the membership and light brunch. The highlight will be screenings of the Renewable New Mexico television series, featuring NMSEA legends including Mark Chalom, Steve and Holly Baer, Windy Dankoff and Chuck Marken (see a trailer here). NMSEA plans to employ the series of half-hour broadcasts, to begin airing on the local community access channel this fall, as an outreach and educational tool. For information or to purchase tickets to the anniversary celebration, contact info@nmsea.org.

ASES commends and congratulates NMSEA for four decades of pioneering research, implementation and public education work. A congratulatory video message from ASES President Susan Greene (above) will air as the lead-in to the Renewable New Mexico televised show.
