The recently launched Department of Energy Alumni Network on Thursday tapped Jocelyn Brown-Saracino to serve as its first permanent executive director.
Brown-Saracino worked at DOE for 15 years, most recently as an offshore wind expert in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. She left the department in April, and now is a senior innovation adviser at the not-for-profit National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium, according to her LinkedIn webpage.
In recent months, the alumni network “has focused on career development for the thousands of DOE staff who have left Federal service this year, with resume workshops, a job board, and networking opportunities,” the group said Thursday in a press release. The group was established in August.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to help foster and to help serve the U.S. Department of Energy alumni community,” Brown-Saracino said in a statement. “In the course of my 15 years at the Department, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand how the passion, expertise, and dedication of the community of DOE employees fundamentally transforms energy, science and innovation in the U.S.”
