Amy Summers is passionate about creating a safer, more hospitable environment for all of us. While completing a degree in Environmental Studies at UCLA and a Master of Environmental Science and Management (MESM) degree at UC Santa Barbara, she contributed to research at both the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in Washington, DC and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and worked with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians on a climate resiliency plan.

For over a decade, she has dedicated her career to sustainability programs that directly impact the market. She helped manage the state of California’s burgeoning electric vehicle incentive program, worked on Southern California Edison’s commercial HVAC maintenance program, and served as an Outreach Manager for Energy Trust of Oregon’s New Buildings program.

She trained as a commercial electrician for four years, fueling her commitment to workforce training and development within the sustainability and construction fields to ensure women and BIPOC business owners have a seat at the table.

Amy founded Spring Forward LLC to use her unique combination of experiences in commercial real estate and construction, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency to meet the needs of businesses and programs. Whether devising an outreach strategy, implementing a sustainability program, or tapping into key market intelligence, Spring Forward LLC works tirelessly to get the results you want and move us toward a better future.
