Lab Effectiveness Panel Meeting Scheduled for Today Cancelled

A meeting of the Commission to Review the Effectiveness of the National Energy Laboratories scheduled for today has been cancelled. The meeting was to be the panel’s sixth and final of its phase one work, but with it expected to deliver its phase one report by Feb. 1, the final meeting was scrapped. The committee will meet Feb. 24 at the Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria as well as March 24 at the Hilton Mark Center to kick off the second phase of its work. The panel is chaired by former Deputy Energy Secretary T.J. Glauthier and former Carnegie Mellon President Jared Cohon, and is charged with examining whether the labs properly meet DOE’s strategic priorities, don’t have clear or redundant missions, and are appropriately sized.
