Allison Bidlack is Renewable Juneau’s vice president. She is research faculty at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and works primarily with the UAF Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center. She first came to southeast in 1997 as a grad student working on the genetics of the endemic mammals of the Alexander Archipelago.

She then obtained a doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley in Environmental Science, Policy and Management and worked for 8 years as the Director of the AK Coastal Rainforest Center at UAS. Allison lives in Douglas and when she’s not fixing up her house spends as much time as she can outside.

Steve Behnke is a founding member of Renewable Juneau.

Steve is a founding member of Alaska Heat Smart and sits on the Juneau Commission on Sustainability. “Take a look at Renewable Juneau’s logo.  I really like how Juneau’s water and mountains — defining characteristics of life here— provide the hydropower that is key to reducing our climate impacts.  We have a huge responsibility.  And our renewable energy wealth gives us an equally great opportunity to come up with local solutions.”

Margo Waring is one of the co-founders of Renewable Juneau and she sits on the board of Alaska Heat Smart. She is a retired state government policy analyst and planner and former university professor. She is a child of survivors of the Great Depression who fervently believed in recycling and making do. The concept of resource scarcity, in the form of water, was the theme of a college novel outline (never written, but the work earned an A!). Margo’s interest in sustainability and renewable energy has remained and strengthened over the decades. Margo’s published and unpublished poetry is informed by the environment she lives in and loves.
