Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 Vice President Honored by Connecticut Technology Council as "Innovative & Outstanding" Role Model

Andrew Warde High School Class of 1976 vice president Debbie Kamlani Moss was honored as one of "eight innovative, outstanding women across Connecticut" during the fourth annual Women of Innovation awards dinner January 30 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington.

The awards program, sponsored by the Connecticut Technology Council, recognizes women in the workforce who are innovators, role models, and leaders in technology, science, and engineering fields.

Debbie, pictured second-from-right below with Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell to her immediate right, is chairman and founder of Avalence, LLC, in Milford, which was founded on renewable energy solutions. Her talented engineering team has developed reliable and cost-effective hydrogen-generating equipment to provide emission-free fuel.

The "Hydrofiller," requiring only water and power as feedstock, is a novel power plant solution which utilizes renewable energy to produce hydrogen gas by electrolysis. The hydrogen gas is used for transportation fueling and in industrial settings for premium power and extended backup power applications.

Debbie, a member of the AWHS Class of 1976 30-year reunion committee, is also co-founder of E-Magazine (click on image below), an independent environmentally-conscious consumer magazine published by her husband in Norwalk. She currently resides in Westport.

"Each year, we are in awe of award winners' outstanding accomplishments," said Matthew Nemerson, president and CEO of the Connecticut Technology Council. "Connecticut has extraordinary people at its technology companies. We are proud to offer an awards program that honors exceptional innovators and leaders and provides them with a professional network of other women who strive for excellence."

The keynote speaker of the event, Sigal Zarmi, CIO and quality officer of GE Corporate Financial Services, addressed the approximately 550 attendees at the awards dinner. Her speech focused on bridging the "curiosity gap" in the United States.

She urged audience members to help by supporting the state's education system, breaking down existing stereotypes of scientists and other innovators.

Congratulations, Debbie. The AWHS Class of 1976 is extremely proud of you.
