Kathryn Swartz

Kathy is honored to serve as SEI's Interim Executive Director, especially since she is one of the over 21,000 alumni of SEI. She took her first PV class in 2004, which kickstarted her career in solar. With a background in environmental education, Kathy's goal is to ensure that SEI's Renewable Energy Training Program prepares participants with the knowledge and hands-on experiences needed to safely and successfully work with renewable energy systems and that each person feels apart of this SEI family. Kathy has a degree from West Virginia Wesleyan and enjoys gardening, hiking with her 2 big dogs (Hannah the Newfie and Huck the St. Bernard), and is building a passive solar, solar-powered home with Kris Sutton.
