Introducing William Boyd: New CU Law Faculty & CEES Board Member Mike Kopp, CEES Research Associate William Boyd is excited about his move from Washington, D.C. to Colorado; and he isn’t talking about the difference in relative humidity between our nation’s capital and the breezy slopes of Boulder. Instead, the newest member of the University of Colorado Law School faculty is excited about Colorado’s growing importance as a nexus of innovation and development in the new energy economy. Citing policies like Amendment 37, Xcel Energy’s plans to build the nation’s first fully integrated “Smart Grid City” in Boulder (see Student Comment, Page 4 for more information), research facilities like the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, and a growing number of renewable energy companies, Boyd is intrigued by the linkages developing around renewable energy in Colorado. He is also impressed by the many positive things he has heard about CU Law, including its outstanding faculty and students and its strong commitment to environmental and natural resources law.

CEES Profile: Cactus Woodworth-Lies, Office Manager James Lamb, CEES News Assistant Editor Guitar, yoga, ballet, jazz, tap, modern, African; Cactus Flower Woodworth-Lies, the office manager at CEES, can do it all. She has the posture of a long-time yoga practitioner and the slender frame of a dancer. She is also the smiling face that greets staff and visitors to the CEES suite. Her name and hobbies are enough to suggest a Boulder native, but she was actually born in Hyannis, Massachusetts and was raised in Houston, Texas.
