Background

About Sarah Conley

As a non-profit executive leader, I set the table for change – literally and figuratively. Whether it’s a dinner party with guests from far-off places, a meal shared in my Appalachian foothills Airbnb, or a gathering of CEOs, elected officials, and policy practitioners I am always creating space for meaningful connection and visionary thinking. With over a decade of experience in director-level roles in the nonprofit sector, I’ve spent the last 9+ years immersed in the clean energy space, where I bring together equity, climate, and community in transformative ways. Here’s what drives me-Equity-minded organizing rooted in empathy and inclusion -Creative problem-solving that turns big ideas into action -System design that supports long-term sustainability and mission impact I've raised millions in funding through grants, philanthropic partnerships, and major campaigns, and have helped organizations navigate growth, pivot through challenges, and reimagine their future. At every table I join, I bring warmth, clarity, and the belief that bold change starts with brave conversations.
