The Hydropower Foundation has entered into a strategic alignment with the National Hydropower Association (NHA). While the Foundation remains an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with its own mission, vision, board,and staff, this collaboration allows the Foundation to amplify its impact by connecting more directly with industry partners through NHA’s strong network and influence. Together, the Foundation and NHA will work to attract the talented workforce needed to ensure hydropower continues to thrive for generations to come.

As part of this alignment, we are pleased to announce that Malcolm Woolf now serves as the Executive Director of the Hydropower Foundation, along with continuing his current role as President and CEO of NHA. By leading both organizations, Woolf will help foster seamless coordination and consistent collaboration.

The Foundation will continue to focus on four key priorities:

• Conducting outreach to universities, community colleges, and trade schools to provide resources, host site visits, and share internship/job opportunities.
• Leveraging social media to reach students where they are and increase awareness of hydropower as a leading career path.
• Hosting Clean Energy Career Expos and expanding student and industry participation at each event.
• Planning for sustainability — ensuring the continued success of our programs and the Foundation as a whole.
