The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking applicants for its 2018 Executive Energy Leadership Program—otherwise known as Energy Execs.

Leaders in the private sector, communities, non-profits, and government are eligible to participate in the program. Participants are required to travel to NREL's main campus in Golden, Colorado, for four multi-day sessions from June through September.

Energy Execs was founded in 2007 and 22 participants are selected each year from a national pool of candidates. The application deadline is February 28; to apply online, visit the Executive Leadership Academy website. For more information, email Energy Execs.
