Staff

The BC Sustainable Energy Association is a volunteer driven organization with three paid staff at our head office in Victoria.

Our Provincial Coordinator, Director of Development and Administrative Assistant undertake the operational tasks for the organization. Their responsibilities include project management, communications, member services, fundraising and chapter and committee coordination.

Provincial Coordinator

Peter Ronald

Active in environmental and social justice circles for over 20 years, Peter brings a broad skill set to BCSEA's central staff position of Provincial Coordinator. He studied political and communications theory at Montreal and Ottawa universities before moving to B.C. His professional career highlights include working as a transportation planner and business manager, a journalist and publisher, and an environmental campaigner. Peter is inspired by nature's profoundly intricate design and he seeks to learn the lessons that present themselves in both everyday and extraordinary circumstances. With two daughters and an active commitment to his community, Peter spends his diminishing leisure time enjoying music, pale ale, films, cycling and hiding out (when he can) in his hammock.

Development Director

Tom Arnold

From a young age, Tom recognized that he had an innate passion for the natural world, and a desire to help protect it. While beginning his career in conservation, an unexpected turn landed him a job fundraising for a giant panda. For over 10 years he's been helping to connect people who share his passion for the environment with environmental charities around the world...and has gained a great deal of insight and experience in non-profit management along the way. Tom enjoys working with grassroots organizations and helping them grow their membership in order to manage the transition from young upstarts into thriving and effective non-profits.

When not at work, you're most likely to find Tom obsessing about, growing, or eating food, paddling a canoe, or planning domestic or international adventures. He also moonlights as a masked superhero.
