Allison spent the past seven years working in the energy sector.  She pursued her passion to reduce carbon emissions by working to increase the amount of electricity produced by renewable resources. She began first as a consultant, next as a project developer, and was most recently employed as consultant for the New England States Committee on Electricity (NESCOE), an organization focused on achieving clean energy policies within competitive electricity markets. Each week, Allison worked to find solutions to some of the most challenging energy supply problems of the day. 

A Special Person to Many

​“Time on this earth is short. It should be spent doing something you care about”.  She approached her worklife with a passion to explore and reflect beyond her comfort zone.  Allison was a woman inspired to improve the world for others, and all who met her, remember her fondly, and will miss her greatly

Her spirit is carried on by her wife, Lucy Pollard of Portsmouth, NH, her loving parents, Renee and Laurence Smith of Harrisonville, MO, and sister, Lauren Pedersen (Matt) of Ankeny, IA, two nephews, and an extended family of relations and friends from every walk of life.
