Hillary Bright is the Executive Director of Turn Forward, where she leads bipartisan efforts to advance offshore wind in the United States. Since stepping into the role, she has strengthened Turn Forward’s communications, advocacy, and policy presence, expanded partnerships across industry, labor, and advocacy organizations, and built out the organization’s strategic capacity.

Hillary brings 17 years of experience at the intersection of energy, climate, economic development, and policy across nonprofit, corporate, and government sectors.

A Central Pennsylvania native, Hillary’s passion for conservation is rooted in her upbringing, where her father – an acclaimed fly-fishing guide – instilled in her the value of protecting clean water and expanding access to the outdoors.
