Alan Sherman

Alan became active in the intersection of faith and climate in 2019, when he co-chaired the Solar Energy Committee at Temple Emunah in Lexington. That initiative led to a 336-kW solar canopy installation – the largest synagogue solar installation in Massachusetts and among the five largest for houses of worship statewide – producing 162% of the congregation’s energy needs. Alan was appointed by the Select Board to serve on the Town of Lexington Energy Conservation Committee from 2015 to 2019, advising officials on ways to enhance energy conservation throughout the town’s physical plant. Professionally, Alan is a marketing executive in the clean energy sector, focused on accelerating the adoption of solar and other renewables. He earned his MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and his bachelor’s degree from the University of Rochester.
