| DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Honors Tanisha Parker Each February, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) celebrates Black History Month and the tremendous positive impact of diversity on our mission, vision, accomplishments, and goals. For Black History Month 2020, EERE is focusing on diversity by honoring African Americans senior leadership across our office for their important contributions to the EERE mission. Honoree Tanisha Parker serves as deputy director of the Workforce Management Office in EERE. In this role, she works with the director to oversee the staff that manages Human Resources and Operations for EERE's nearly 600 employees. Her illustrious federal career began at age 17 as a summer trainee at the State Department's United States Information Agency. Since that time, she has held several important positions within DOE and other federal agencies. She also served as a senior congressional official where she advocated for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Tanisha is an author, speaker, certified life coach, and community advocate for the elimination of poverty. But of all her accomplishments, she says raising two successful young adults is her greatest achievement.
