Mary Anne (M.A.) Rogers’ involvement with the Nicholas Institute stems from her keen interest in and support of the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project. Her concern for sustainable universal energy access was fostered by numerous trips to Africa and the developing world as well as her husband’s long career in the energy sector.

Rogers also currently serves on the Board of Trustees of Queens University of Charlotte; The Nature Conservancy Africa Council, as well as TNC’s Africa Affinity Group for Women and Girls; and the Mint Museum Advisory Board.
