Since 1996, NEEP has engaged in ongoing outreach and communication with our partners, policymakers, the media and others in order to develop and maintain a positive environment for public policies and programs that promote energy efficiency in Northeast states.

POC activities are guided by the Policy Committee of the NEEP Board of Directors, which defines the overall direction for the POC efforts on an annual basis. In addition, specific projects are served by Advisory Committees that inform project priorities, provide strategic information and referrals, review materials, and help coordinate NEEP projects with related efforts

NEEP's POC activities are funded by grants from the U.S. EPA, private foundations, and supplemented by project underwriting and event revenues.
