WCEE's PRESS POLICY

Members of the press are encouraged to attend Women’s Council on Energy and the Environment (WCEE) events. These events are “background” and comments made at the event are not to be quoted or attributed directly unless prior arrangements have been made with the speaker.

Speakers may elect to be “on–the-record” or “off-the-record” at the time of the event. Electronic recording of the event is forbidden. Reporters may approach event speakers only after the conclusion of the event to seek permission for interviews or quotes.

Additional Remarks: Members of the press are not obligated to pay for a WCEE event except in those instances where they choose to partake of the food provided at the event.

WCEE's CROSS ADVERTISING POLICY / Non-WCEE "events of interest"

Organizations that sponsor events that may be of interest to the WCEE membership may have details listed in the monthly newsletter, at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Interested organizations should contact WCEE newsletter co-editors at wcee.webzine@gmail.com to coordinate publication date, requirements, and space availability.

WCEE's (WIL) WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP POLICY

The Women in Leadership (WIL) series gives WCEE members the opportunity to interact on a personal level with leaders in the energy and environmental fields. Such events provide WCEE members with the opportunity to meet with exceptionally high-level women in government and private industry. These events are typically provided to the membership at no cost. The WIL Series events permit WCEE members to learn more about the speaker, ask general career-path related questions, and pursue philosophical or policy questions appropriate to the speaker's expertise. WIL events are not intended to be an opportunity to advance specific positions or interests of individual WCEE members, their employers, or their clients.

The Board expects each member attending these events to accept responsibility for maintaining the cordial atmosphere of these events and refrain from pursuing individual and professional agendas. The Board also directs WIL event organizers to circulate this policy to participants and to maintain a congenial atmosphere.
