 In this role, Dr. Cash advised the Secretary of Energy and Environment on

 management. He was one of the architects of clean energy legislation and
 implementation in the first term of the Patrick-Murray Administration,
 including the Green Communities Act, the Global Warming Solutions Act,
 the Green Jobs Act and the Clean Energy Biofuels Act. Recently, he led the
 Secretariat's effort in developing the Massachusetts Clean Energy and
 Climate Plan for 2020, which provides a roadmap of policies and program
 that will lower energy costs, create clean energy jobs, and reduce
 greenhouse gases. Prior to working for the Commonwealth, Dr. Cash was a
 research associate at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard
 University, and a Lecturer in Environmental Science and Public Policy. He
