Every fiscal year, the RENEW Wisconsin Board of Directors starts things off with a vote to determine who among them will take on the additional responsibility of leading the board. Last week, the Board of Directors held its first meeting of the year, where, among other things, members voted on its leadership team for the 2026-27 fiscal year, selecting the following members for officer positions: Isaiah Ness (President), Mackenzie Mindel (Vice President), Eric Callisto (Treasurer), and Matt Dannenberg (Secretary).

This August, the RENEW Wisconsin board of directors voted to fill two vacant mid-term seats. Joining our board are Barrett Lione-Seaton, Business Development Lead and Partner at Midwest Solar Power, and Matt Dannenberg, Head of Partnerships at Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy. Each of them brings their own unique background and perspectives to the board, helping to make sure RENEW Wisconsin is guided by a diverse group of professionals invested in our mission.

Third-party solar, also known as third-party ownership, legislation is lagging behind in Wisconsin, and it is impacting Wisconsinites’ ability to afford a clean and reliable energy future.
