The global GRC membership took part in the ballot in November, and the result was that two new members of the Board were elected: Kelly Blake and Elisabeth de Jong.

They join two other members who have been re-elected to the Board of Directors: Ann Robertson Tait and Josh Nordquist.

The diverse membership of the Board of Directors reflects the mission of the GRC to represent the entire global geothermal community.

Will Pettitt, Executive Director of the GRC commented, "We congratulate the elected members of the Board on their success and welcome their talents and commitment. Our new board is 21 strong with 38% women. We continue to develop a diverse organization and strive for balanced gender representation. I look forward to working with the new Board on our transformative 2020 vision of increasing public awareness of geothermal energy across society."
