Senior Executive Policy Interaction

Each member company may assign one individual to EFCOG’s Executive Council.  The Executive Council engages in a range of policy issues that are critical to DOE mission success.

Each member company may assign one or more individuals from their organization to participate on EFCOG working groups.

The Department of Energy is aware of and supports the efforts of EFCOG and has stated that costs associated with workshops and meetings where technical information is exchanged are reimbursable. EFCOG working groups have DOE sponsors who guide their activities.  EFCOG also regularly interacts with senior DOE managers on critical policy issues.
