Es dedicado, apasionado y un gran voluntario\u2026 \u00a1MUCHO! De hecho, en poco m\u00e1s de un a\u00f1o ha dedicado m\u00e1s de 450 horas de tiempo como voluntario, incluyendo tiempo en dos Solarthons y convirti\u00e9ndose en el l\u00edder destacado del equipo en la oficina de GRID Alternatives North Valley.<\/p>\n<p>El pasado julio, Rich vio una convocatoria a voluntarios en un anuncio en un peri\u00f3dico local. Le gust\u00f3 la idea de lo que est\u00e1bamos haciendo y pens\u00f3 que ser\u00eda interesante, especialmente porque tiene una carrera en trabajos el\u00e9ctricos pero nunca hab\u00eda trabajado en energ\u00eda solar antes. Despu\u00e9s de unas semanas se enamor\u00f3. Seg\u00fan Rich, \u201cMe encanta la camarader\u00eda y pasar tiempo con los dem\u00e1s voluntarios y hacer que se cumpla el trabajo. Volver a dar algo y cambiar la vida de las personas es simplemente genial\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No tard\u00f3 mucho en convertirse en l\u00edder de equipo, lo que significa que ha demostrado no solo que domina un conjunto de 17 habilidades, sino que tambi\u00e9n puede ense\u00f1arlas. A pesar de poder hacer todo, es bastante com\u00fan encontrar a Rich con su camiseta naranja brillante de l\u00edder de equipo junto a la caja el\u00e9ctrica e inversor, ense\u00f1ando a otros c\u00f3mo conectar las conexiones.<\/p>\n<p>Durante su tiempo aqu\u00ed, ha tenido ya muchas oportunidades divertidas y \u00fanicas. Seg\u00fan Rich, el Solarthon de este a\u00f1o en Chico ha sido el m\u00e1s destacado hasta ahora. Pero tambi\u00e9n hay historias que contar, como trabajar en temperaturas de m\u00e1s de 100 grados en Redding o experimentar una instalaci\u00f3n en Yuba City con un tejado de azulejos. Hace unas semanas, Rich tambi\u00e9n se uni\u00f3 a nosotros en Rocklin como miembro honorario de Solarthon 2013, donde se encarg\u00f3 de los inversores centrales en tres de las cuatro casas. Rich estuvo all\u00ed con un gran sonrisas y entusiasmo, f\u00e1cil de relacionarse y como un gran l\u00edder de equipo.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Gracias Rich por todo lo que haces!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rich Gordon es uno de esos voluntarios que todos los proyectos sin fines de lucro quieren tener.
