IEEE-USA Energy Policy Liaisons

Charles Neumeyer and Dick Lanza, members of the NPSS AdCom, are serving as liaison representatives of NPSS on the IEEE/USA Energy Policy Committee. This committee reports to the IEEE-USA Board of Directors through the IEEE-USA Vice President, Technology Policy Activities, and is established as a focal point to bring the interests and capabilities of the Institute to bear on United States policy issues in the areas of energy and environmental technology by interaction with the executive and legislative branches of the United States government at all levels. The responsibilities of Liaison Members are “bidirectional.” First, they are responsible for seeking input from the societies and regions in all phases of issue identification and development of recommendations and messages. Second, they are responsible for transmitting relevant information and products from the committees to the societies and regions; Liaison Members typically report on the activities of the committees at society AdCom meetings and regional meetings and through newsletters. In order to serve the NPSS in this capacity, inputs from the NPSS community on energy and environmental policy issues are hereby sought. If you have opinions on matters related to issues such as energy supply, regulation, generation, transmission, reliability, conservation, etc., please feel free to communicate them via e-mail to neumeyer@pppl.gov and/or to lanza@mit.edu.
