CUB hires Outreach Director

Published November 22, 2016 Please join me in welcoming Carmen Carruthers to the CUB team! Carmen is CUB’s new outreach director. She’ll soon be visiting communities around Minnesota, holding bill clinics and workshops and providing one-on-one counseling to anyone with questions about their utilities. Most recently, Carmen worked as a financial associate for Thrivent Financial. She has extensive outreach experience, including six years working on land use and transportation projects at the City of Naperville, Illinois, and in her current volunteer position on the Plan Commission for the City of Minnetonka Beach. Carmen grew up on a farm near Mahnomen, Minnesota, spent many years away after college and is very happy to be settled back in Minnesota, serving residents of the state.  She has a undergraduate degree from St. Cloud University and a graduate degree from the University of Iowa. Not sure why your utility bills are so high? Have questions about renewable power? Want CUB to put on a training with your group? Talk to Carmen. You can contact her any time at 612-568-5706 or carmenc@cubminnesota.org.
