The NativeEnergy Travel Offsets Team
Megan oversaw the formation of The International Ecotourism Society (www.ecotourism.org) in 1990, the first and largest ecotourism NGO in the world and was its president for 12 years. Under her leadership, TIES developed a membership program in over 100 countries, workshops and stakeholder meetings that reached tens of thousands, and an international communications program that reached millions. Since 2003, Megan’s firm EplerWood International (www.eplerwood.com) has worked for the World Bank International Finance Corporation to develop sustainable tourism strategies for some of the poorest nations in the world, and for USAID developing market-based ecotourism programs in biodiverse regions of Sri Lanka, Mexico, Ecuador, and Honduras.

Tom Boucher
NativeEnergy’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Boucher, is an energy industry veteran. His experience spans utility strategic and financial planning, power marketing, energy supply and renewable energy projects. As one of the founders of Green Mountain Energy, Tom led the business plan team, helped raise capital, designed new energy products and services, and developed innovative renewable energy supply contracts. In 2000, Tom initiated and co-founded NativeEnergy, a renewable energy marketing company which is creating innovative services, nationwide marketing and strategic relationships to support renewable energy development and fight global warming. With his wife Jeanne, Tom built their own energy-efficient Vermont country home over 25 years ago, and still harvests wood for much of their heating requirements. As a boy, Tom learned wood and metal working from his dad and grandfather - and while still in school, designed and built a small wind turbine for his backyard. Now years later, he proudly views new 200 foot-high wind turbines, biogas, and solar projects that are the result of his team’s efforts.

Tom Stoddard 
Tom Stoddard, Co-founder and V.P. and General Counsel of NativeEnergy, provided business advice and conducted business transactions at prominent law firms in Boston, MA and Manchester, NH. Subsequently at Green Mountain Energy, Tom focused on energy supply contracts, regulatory compliance, affinity marketing relationships and substantiation for marketing claims. As a “recovering” attorney, Tom co-founded NativeEnergy with the firm belief that business can be good for the environment, and that we can all do well by doing good. Tom lives with his wife Stephanie, a visiting nurse, their son Ryan and their dog and three cats on a farm abutting the Green Mountain National Forest. As a child, Tom grew to love the outdoors during long walks in the woods behind his family's retreat on a Vermont lake. He is an enthusiastic catch-and release fisherman (in all four seasons), loves camping and makes wooden furniture in his woodshop in the barn.
