GEA Council

The GEA Council was comprised of key high-level stakeholders representing a comprehensive range of energy interests and concerns, ensuring that the audience to which the Assessment is directed is directly engaged. This maximizes the relevance, integrity, and credibility of the GEA. The Council provided a forum for constructive exchanges and ensured the Assessment is directed in a way that addresses the needs and interests of a broad cross-section of decision makers. Although the Council was officially dissolved after the completion of the report in 2012, council members will continue to have a role in outreach and dissemination.
