WHO WE ARE & PURPOSE

Municipal and State Sustainable Energy Forum (MSE Forum) is an interactive venue that brings industry experts, attorneys, consultants, policy makers, developers, universities, and organizations together for collaboration on projects/policies and updates on the latest developments. Topics range from information on cutting-edge projects to energy policy and solutions to obstacles preventing renewable energy advancement. Several times a month Zoom meetings are held on a variety of relevant topics followed by an interactive discussion among experts who give feedback and contribute to the conversation.

The organization was founded by President and CEO, Sierra Dall. Sierra’s concern for the environment began at Michigan State University where she graduated with a degree in biology. While at MSU, she was instrumental in encouraging the university to discontinue spraying elm trees with DDT and instead to switch to a less toxic chemical. At the end of the four years MSU made the switch and Sierra learned that one person could make a difference.

In 1981 Sierra moved to Colorado and went through several career changes including facilitating meetings within businesses to build consensus between the employees and executives.  Her facilitating skills are now being used during the Forum events and online meetings. In 2007, after meeting with scientists and reviewing data and studies, Sierra became aware of the seriousness of climate change.  Therefore, in 2008 she founded Municipal and State Sustainable Energy Forum as a format in which experts can have meaningful discussions on how to move forward with the most effective sustainable energy-related solutions. 

In addition to continually researching top experts and sustainable energy solutions, in her spare time (if any) Sierra enjoys rock climbing in the Colorado Mountains .. . . not necessarily in heels.
