Climate + Energy Project seeks new board members

2026 BOARD APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!!!

Help shape the Kansas clean energy future . . . join the CEP Board!

CEP is looking for a few good Kansans to join our team!  The Climate + Energy Project (CEP) is a Kansas-based, nonpartisan 501(c)3 nonprofit driving practical solutions for an equitable transition to a clean energy future.

Mission

CEP builds resilience in Kansas through equitable clean energy solutions and climate action.

Purpose

The Climate & Energy Project:

• connects people, organizations, and ideas;
• presents science-based facts;
• facilitates critical thinking and community engagement; and
• co-creates equitable and productive solutions.

Our Work

We focus on four priorities to build a healthy and resilient Kansas: Clean Energy, Climate Resilience, Civic Participation, and Climate + Energy Policy.

Our Board

The CEP board is responsible for the general supervision, overall policy, and direction of the organization and delegates responsibility for day-to-day operations to CEP staff.  All board members serve two-year terms, and are eligible for re-election for up to three consecutive terms. The board currently meets virtually on a monthly basis; in-person meetings on occasion.  Our board members come from all walks of life with varying degrees of expertise and interest in climate and energy issues.  Whether you are a small business owner interested in energy efficiency, a retired neurosurgeon passionate about solar, or a professor of Environmental Law, we believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our work.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Are passionate about climate and energy issues, but you don’t need to be an expert!  An interest and desire to learn more go a long way!
• Like engaging with CEP’s work, which can look like reading the e-blasts and staying informed or being a seasoned volunteer who never misses an event.
• Want to work toward a positive future for Kansas that includes clean energy for all and strong, resilient communities across the state.
• Can commit to attending monthly meetings ready to listen, learn, discuss, and collaboratively plan for a healthy and resilient Kansas.

Please take a moment to fill out this CEP Board interest form to answer the following: 

• What do you like about the Climate + Energy Project?
• Why are you interested in serving on the board?
• Do you have any skills or experience you’d like to share?
