The Ask Us Anything Series is a monthly open meeting designed for businesses, organizations, and citizens to meet the Minority Business and Workforce Division of the Department of Energy’s Office of Economic Impact and Diversity. These meetings are an opportunity to connect with others in the energy sector and for Minority Business Enterprises to get their questions answered. Join us every third Wednesday of the month for short updates on funding opportunities from the Department of Energy, to connect with featured Program Offices, and to ask us anything!
