SOLAR 2008 Organizing Committees
The National Organizing Committee is responsible for the theme and overall program content of the National Solar Energy Conference. NOC members attend 3 face-to-face meetings and several meetings by conference call. NOC members may be chairs of sub-committees, represent certain participating organizations, be staff or board members of presenting chapters, and always include key ASES staff members.
The chair of the National Organizing Committee is the conference chair, and works literally hundreds of hours, for up to two years before the conference.
