"Energy Independence Days" is a partnership between coalitions and industry supporters of the Clean Cities program. Sponsor funds from industry make it possible for dozens of Clean Cities Coordinators to travel to Washington, DC to receive briefings, exchange ideas, and meet with congressional members and staff.

Thanks to all who participated this year. Please join us next year in Washington, DC to learn about important national issues that affect the work we all do as Clean Cities Coalitions and to spread the word about your successes.

In 2007, Energy Independence Days (EID) conference was a huge success with 35 coalitions participating making 123 Congressional office visits. This year, we expanded with 41 coordinators from 23 different states participating!
