The American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) is a member-based, non-profit organization, founded in 2001 to bring together leading proponents and innovators from all facets of the renewable energy sector for the purpose of moving renewable energy into the mainstream of America's economy. Established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, ACORE does not lobby at the federal or state level. Instead, ACORE’s focus is to disseminate factual information about current renewable energy policy, market trends, and the numerous benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency, without bias for specific technologies, to its members and the general public. In addition, ACORE convenes forums throughout the year on various topics in renewable energy to bring together leaders from its own membership base and from the wider network of professionals involved in the sector to collaborate on solutions to the industry’s challenges. As of January 2013, ACORE has over 400 member organizations from across the wide range of interests in the community, including renewable energy industries, associations, utilities, end users, professional service firms, financial institutions and government agencies.〔(ACORE Member Directory )〕 In 2011, retired Vice Admiral Dennis V. McGinn was named President and CEO of ACORE. Under McGinn’s leadership, ACORE’s mission was updated to reflect the successes of the industry during ACORE’s first decade. The new mission statement became: ''Building a secure and prosperous America with clean, renewable energy.'' In July, 2013, McGinn was nominated by President Obama to serve as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations & Environment). ACORE's Board of Directors tapped Board Member Michael Brower to fill in as interim President and CEO. In January, 2014, the Board voted for Brower to serve as the organization's full-time President and CEO. Mr. Brower retired in December, 2014 and Dan Reicher, Chairman of the Board of Directors, is serving as interim President & CEO while the Board of Directors conducts an executive search process. ==Primary Activities== Categorized broadly, ACORE’s work covers two main functions: # Convening forums and hosting other events to promote collaboration on renewable energy issues, and # Acting as an educational platform for the sector, providing both original content and news and reports from outside sources. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Council on Renewable Energy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
