GRO: How do you facilitate
communications amongst

TF: We host conferences,
webinars, and are available to
our members. Our role is to help
convene and advance the renew-

the Federal, State and local

Global energy is a global
market. We want to provide
thought leadership on all the
relevant issues and provide
additional forums as needed by
our members.
