As the founder and executive director of Women Who Charge, she aims to promote and increase the presence of women in leadership positions within the electric transportation field.

Not only is LaSheita a dedicated advocate for the expansion of electric vehicles, but she is also deeply committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

LaSheita actively contributes to the Denver Electric Vehicle Council, where she provides valuable insights and perspectives as a member. Additionally, she serves on the transportation subcommittee of the Denver Sustainability Advisory Committee, working towards sustainable transportation solutions for the city.

LaSheita's impact extends beyond the local Denver community. She has been an active member of the Colorado Electric Vehicle Coalition since 2020. Her involvement in the Equity, Policy, and EV Battery Recycling committees for the Colorado Energy Office demonstrates her commitment to creating a more equitable, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly future for all.

LaSheita Sayer is truly a trailblazer in the electric transportation industry. Through her visionary leadership, Women Who Charge has become an influential platform that fosters connections, shares knowledge, and empowers women to excel in the field. With her dedication and drive, LaSheita continues to break barriers and inspire other women to embrace their potential in the world of electric mobility.
