Every year, a select group of volunteer members from the federal and private sector energy management communities help to develop the Energy Exchange technical training content. This Technical Planning Team leverages their expertise in federal energy and water management to develop relevant and actionable training for the federal energy and water management community. Members are selected via an application process.

Thank you to the entire 2021 Technical Planning Team!
