topic for usea but one that we re eager to have a conversation about and i m hoping that this will be the first of a continuing conversation because the matters that we re going to address this afternoon are taking on a degree of urgency. they ve always been urgent, but i think, myself, that the urgency is growing. so thank all of you for coming. we have an excellent set of panelists here today for our discussion. we hope to have audience participation as well. moderating today s session is mark wolfe. mark will provide a discussion and will moderate the discussion on the need for energy assistance. he is an economist and is an expert on local and regional energy and housing financing. he has consulted regularly for federal, state foundation and nonprofit agencies. he is very experienced at testifying before congress, and he is the executive director of the national energy assistance directors association. and the energy program consortium and is the founding partner of proje
