Ellen Kennedy is a Principal, Carbon-Free Transportation, RMI at DRIVE Electric Arizona. Colleagues describe them as "If you want to be an organization that strives to protect people and the environment, build resilient systems, and work more equitably, then you want Ellen Kennedy. Ellen is the person who will ask tough questions, but will work twice as hard to get you answers at the same time. She is a change-maker who pushes for better, more sustainable solutions while striving to bring more voices to the table at the same time. I was privileged to work alongside Ellen at the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board while she was leading several Master Planning processes, including the park system’s first Ecological System Plan. I saw her build relationships and trust between different groups, lead her projects with a strong sense of transparency and integrity, and support and mentor colleagues across all her work. She will be an asset to your team." and "Ellen walks the talk with her dedication to sustainability! Her ability to bring fresh ideas to the table is a powerful tool for organizations adjusting to changing times. "
