How the IRA Can Benefit Your University

Interested in learning how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can benefit your university? Join us for a session on the incentives and opportunities available in the IRA! During this webinar we will discuss guaranteed incentives such as those for clean energy and energy efficiency in campus buildings and operations, as well as competitive opportunities that may benefit your university’s research departments.


The event speaker, Courtney Kishbaugh, is the Director of Innovation Projects at Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP), where she works to connect Federal funding opportunities and Agency programs with the goals of organizations to support their sustainability planning and initiatives.

Prior to her time at GCP, she worked at New Localism Associates (NLA), an economic development consultancy founded and led by Bruce Katz with the mission of helping cities and metropolitan areas design, finance and deliver transformative initiatives that promote inclusive and sustainable growth. During her time with NLA she developed multi-year economic development plans for the Greater St. Louis region and the State of Rhode Island.

Before NLA, Courtney worked at Accenture consulting for Federal Agency and independent nonprofit clients, focusing on business strategy and design as well as project management. She graduated with high honors from Georgetown University with a degree in Economics.
