DOE has announced the members of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB). The 19 member board comprised of scientists, business executives, academics and former government officials will serve as an independent advisory committee to Energy Secretary Moniz.
"These individuals represent some of the best and brightest in their respective fields and it is a great privilege that they have agreed to offer their expertise to the Energy Department," said Secretary Moniz. "Having a diverse set of voices around the table will ensure that the Department has a strategic approach to the nation's energy, science, nuclear security, and environmental stewardship future."
The Board will include four standing subcommittees that provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary on the Department's four major mission areas: science; energy; nuclear security; and, environmental stewardship. Ad-hoc task forces, comprised of SEAB members and outside experts, will be formed to advise in specific areas directed by the Secretary. The duties of the Board are solely advisory.
SEAB reports directly to the Secretary of Energy. It was chartered in 1990 to provide the Secretary with timely, balanced, external advice on issues concerning the Department. The board is expected to meet quarterly and at other times as needed. To view a listing of the newly appointed Board members, go to http://www.doe.gov/articles/
