Be a Geothermal Ambassador!

GRC Ambassador Program Workshop

Sunday, October 1, 1-5pm, Salt Palace Convention Center - Cost: $150

The use of renewable energy is growing, with states continuing to increase their renewable portfolio standard requirements. Though solar and wind are nationally recognized as renewable resources, geothermal lags behind in social awareness and acceptance.

The GRC is starting an Ambassador Program to:

  • Expand awareness of geothermal energy as a significant player in the global race for clean energy
  • Accelerate development and deployment of geothermal as clean, domestic, power and heat by increasing interest and boosting investor and purchaser confidence.

Geothermal Ambassadors will be a team of technically knowledgeable people, skilled in presenting, who will deliver the same, consistent message. The first year of the program is focused on communicating with power purchasers, power industry regulators, and local, county and state governments in the United States.





We are looking for industry professionals and researchers who are good public speakers and communicators. The 1-year commitment includes:

  • Attending the Ambassador Training,
  • Presenting at a minimum of 3 meetings/events throughout the year, and
  • Recording data on attended events in the Ambassador Event log.

Benefits to Ambassadors include:

  • Access to high-quality geothermal presentation materials (use of these materials will only be authorized for trained ambassadors).
  • Access to the latest industry data and analyses on geothermal power
  • Opportunity to present at industry events.
  • Recognition within GRC and industry as an ambassador
Applicants for the program are being accepted on a first-come basis. If you are interested in being an ambassador, sign up for the training workshop on the GRC Annual Meeting website. A corresponding application form will be emailed to you.
