The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis has added two new board members to its governing body in 2018, as well as a new program manager in its headquarters office in Cleveland.
“We are very fortunate to have Mark Colón and Chris Meyer join the IEEFA board of directors,” said board chair Larry Shapiro. “Both Mark and Chris bring a wealth of knowledge on the energy and finance issues that are core to our work and are experienced in non-profit management.”
Mark Colón is the president of the Office of Housing Preservation at New York State Homes and Community Renewal, where he has also served as deputy counsel. He has practiced international law and chairs the board of El Puente of Williamsburg. Chris Meyer is the chief of staff of 100 Resilient Cities, pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation. He previously served as vice president and senior advisor for Consumer Reports and as executive director and senior attorney of the New York Public Interest Research Group.
Shapiro added, “we’re also very pleased to welcome Kate Sopko to our growing IEEFA team as our new program manager. Kate comes to us having worked in project management, communications and development for several leading Cleveland area non-profits, including Policy Matters Ohio, City Repair Cleveland and SPACES art gallery.”
