The application period to serve on the COSSA Institute Board is now open!
In 2023, COSSA launched the COSSA Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to helping solve some of the hardest problems for the industry on the ground. The COSSA Institute hosts events with local decision makers to develop land use codes that enable more and responsible solar and storage development. It is also working to address the white collar and blue collar shortages in our workforce through partnerships with schools and industry. The COSSA Institute has also been educating elected officials about solar and energy storage through solar tours across the state. The COSSA Institute’s work is driven by the passion and challenges identified by its Board of Directors that will benefit the industry.
The COSSA Institute has 5 open Board positions which will be selected by the COSSA Board of Directors at its February 2024 meeting. Read more about the COSSA Institute Board of Directors’ Roles and Responsibility
