The Appalachian Voice | April 8, 2019 | No Comments
We bid a fond farewell to Lauren Essick, a longtime team member with a passion for sustainability and energy justice. Lauren started as a volunteer in 2009 with our campaign to end mountaintop removal coal mining, and was a key distributor of The Appalachian Voice for four years. She joined our staff full time in 2015, working in several roles including the paper’s Distribution Manager and Operations and Outreach Associate, and served the last two years as our N.C. Energy Savings Outreach Coordinator promoting energy efficiency and solar in electric cooperatives. We wish her the best in her future endeavors!
