27 Feb Roger Duncan, historic local leader, retires from Austin Energy

2/27/10 — Austin Energy’s general manager, the much revered and very inspiring Roger Duncan, retired yesterday after more than 30 years of public service to Austinites. During his career Roger achieved world-renown in green utility implementation — co-founding one of the world’s most progressive energy efficiency programs (here), co-creating the WORLD’S FIRST green building program (also here-!), and achieving too many other things to list. In many ways Roger is responsible for motivating people like me and you to believe we can do more.

And he encourages it.

Big thanks to Roger: a great leader and civil servant.

Here’s wishing Mr. Duncan and his family a very happy and fulfilling retirement.
