About the Forum

The Center for Energy Studies (CES) is supported by corporate and individual members who participate in the Energy Forum via workshops, research and outreach. The Energy Forum provides an opportunity for members to be involved in CES energy research and energy policy events and to meet personally with distinguished statesmen and industry leaders who shape the energy world today.

Membership in the CES Energy Forum involves a commitment of active participation and resources. There are three levels of membership, designated according to financial commitment: Director’s Circle, Advisory Board, and Associate Member. Annual membership gifts support research, fellows, scholars, research associates and other CES staff. All CES Energy Forum members receive recognition in invitations, event programs, publications and program websites.
