Panelists include leaders with firsthand experience navigating energy transitions at every level and the event will be moderated by Elizabeth Philbrick. A Question & Answer session will follow.

Energy is changing. Join us for an open, community-driven conversation about what the evolving energy landscape means for our region: the opportunities it brings, the real barriers we face, and how local voices can help shape what comes next.

This isn't a lecture — it's a conversation. After introductions from panelists, the majority of the evening is yours. Bring your questions, your skepticism, and your curiosity.

Panelists:
Will Toor, Executive Director of the Colorado Energy Office
Dan Harms, Chief Strategy Officer, La Plata Electric Association
Joe Theine, Chief Executive Officer of Southwest Health System

The Durango Public Library Book Club will meet at 6PM on Tuesday, April 7th to discuss "Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden."
Registration is available at the reference desk. A free copy of the book is available for the first 15 people who register.

In Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden, poet and scholar Camille T. Dungy recounts the seven-year odyssey to diversify her garden in the predominately white community of Fort Collins, Colorado. When she moved there in 2013 with her husband and daughter, the community held strict restrictions about what residents could and could not plant.
