Representatives from across industry and government convened July 28 as NETL hosted a virtual meeting of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board to discuss agency branding.

The meeting, which was the fifth meeting of existing and new members included remarks from Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette and NETL Director Brian Anderson, as well as briefings from the Department of Energy Under Secretaries.

“It was an honor for NETL to host this prestigious Board and benefit from the wide-ranging energy expertise of its members,” said NETL Director Brian Anderson. “NETL’s mission is to develop technology solutions to our nation’s energy challenges and also to help move those technologies into the commercial market. Today’s virtual meeting included valuable insight from across many energy sectors and other industries on how DOE and the national labs can make our nation more prosperous and more secure.”   

The SEAB was established to provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary on the Administration’s energy policies; the Department’s basic and applied research and development activities; economic and national security policy; and other activities as directed by the Secretary.
