Anna J. Siefken, associate director for Innovation and Strategic Partnerships for Carnegie Mellon University’s Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, is a recipient of the 13th Annual Women of Achievement Awards. Siefken is being recognized not only for her dedication to promoting a sustainable community and her work with the Pittsburgh 2030 District, but because she has been an exemplary role model for women and girls.
“The work that she has done with Carnegie Mellon University, Green Building Alliance, and the international 2030 Districts Network Board of Governors will make a significant and sustained difference in the Pittsburgh area,” said Cribs for Kids Program Coordinator Maggie Phoenik. “Anna is an advocate and leader for the promotion of energy efficiency, green initiatives and environmental practices. She is strategic, highly educated, and an overall great role model for women everywhere.”
Siefken will be honored alongside 22 prominent women on March 1 at an awards ceremony benefitting Cribs for Kids.
