Washington, DC — The Partnership Project is delighted to announce the appointment of two new members to our Board of Directors: Irene Burga and Natalie Mebane. With their extensive experience and expertise in clean energy advocacy and campaigns, they will be invaluable additions to our organization.
Irene Burga brings a wealth of experience in designing and implementing clean air and climate strategies that improve the quality of life for communities on the front lines of poor air quality and climate change. She has held positions for elected offices and major environmental organizations always centering equity and justice while pushing for effective strategies to address the climate crisis.
Irene is currently the Climate Justice and Clean Air Program Director for GreenLatinos, where she develops and implements strategies to reduce disparities and boost climate resilience in Latine communities across the country. Her strategic thinking and leadership skills along with her proven track record of success will be essential in guiding The Partnership Project as we continue to innovate and grow.
Natalie Mebane has substantial grassroots organizing, fundraising, and environmental campaign experience working at some of the largest and most influential environmental organizations, including the Sierra Club, 350.org, and the Wilderness Society. She is the Director of Greenpeace USA’s Climate Campaign, where she sets the strategic direction of the organization’s work to end the era of fossil fuels and create a more equitable future. Her unique perspective and insights will be instrumental in helping us achieve our strategic goals and provide value to our partners and stakeholders.
