For two decades, Marc Boom (he/him) has worked at the intersection of environmental policy, clean energy, and community revitalization. As Senior Director of Public Affairs at the Environmental Protection Network (EPN), he leads the organization’s intergovernmental, communications, and campaign work.
Before joining EPN, Marc served as a Senior Advisor in the Office of Policy at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where he helped coordinate cross-agency initiatives, improve decision-making, and modernize how the agency delivers on its mission. He led EPA’s engagement with the Energy Communities Interagency Working Group, helped launch a pilot program to support communities transitioning from fossil fuel economies, and advised on efforts to strengthen environmental review and permitting. He also helped the agency explore how artificial intelligence and data tools could make federal permitting more efficient, transparent, and fair.
Earlier, Marc spent more than a decade at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), where he directed federal advocacy on clean energy, manufacturing, transportation, and climate change. He worked closely with business leaders and labor unions to shape policies that drive clean energy investment while supporting good jobs and stronger communities. Marc played a key role in building bipartisan coalitions and advancing major climate and energy legislation — including provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — that link environmental outcomes with economic renewal.
Marc began his career on Capitol Hill as a Legislative Assistant to Congressman Patrick J. Murphy (PA-08) and managed a state senate campaign in Pennsylvania. He earned his degree in political science and history from The George Washington University.
