Mandy Mahoney provides vision and strategic leadership while managing RAP’s U.S. team and its work.
Before joining RAP, Ms. Mahoney served for a decade as the president of the Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance (SEEA), applying her regional leadership in climate change, clean energy, affordable housing and environmental justice policy across the 11-state Southeast.
