As we approach year’s end, I’m thinking about gratitude, more than ever, both personally and professionally. Beloved family and cherished friends notwithstanding, I have profound gratitude for TXSES and the people who make this organization the treasure that it is.

There has been no shortage of challenges and victories this year. We’d scratch one thing off our to-do list and add three more. It’s not a complaint. It’s an acknowledgment of our ability to recognize timely issues providing opportunities for TXSES to engage. There are a couple of reasons we’re able to do this so effectively: our esteemed board of directors, whose expert insight keeps us on a visionary path; and our talented staff who are tireless in their work ethic and committed to keeping TXSES as the indisputable source for factual, unbiased solar information.

In truth, there are two more reasons for boundless gratitude. Our generous donors enable us to achieve our mission of equitable solar access for every Texan. Last, but not least, it’s you, our members, who inspire and embolden us to do what we do best: educate and raise awareness of the value and benefits of Texas’s unlimited solar resource, resulting in the kinds of successes you’ve come to expect from us.

TXSES is built on the collective efforts of all of us. We couldn’t do what we do without each other. Heartfelt thanks for all you do for TXSES.

May 2023 bring more clean energy for us all. Happiest of holidays to you and yours.
