Dear AriSEIA members,
I am privileged and honored to have the opportunity to serve as your new Executive Director. By way of introduction, I am a longtime Arizona resident with a background in government relations, in both the public and private sectors.
In these unprecedented times, it is important to remember AriSEIA has a strong foundation which we will continue to preserve and improve upon. I am very excited for the opportunity to grow our mission and advocate for policies that advance Arizona’s economy through solar energy and storage technologies.
I appreciate the confidence the Board has placed in me to serve you, our AriSEIA members. I look forward to a bright future with AriSEIA as we grow together. Please feel free to
reach out
to me with your ideas and suggestions any time.
Respectfully at your service,
Nicole LaSlavic
Executive Director
