The NASEO Energy Equity Committee has identified community engagement, development of metrics and indicators, identification of marginalized communities, and access to programs and funding as content priorities. The Committee is also enabling peer sharing and supporting equity across NASEO programs. These resources and more are discussed during meetings of the NASEO Energy Equity Committee. Information on future meetings is available on the NASEO Events page.
