The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's (EERE) Product Governance Team (PGT) reviews and approves publications, exhibits, infographics, logos and templates for all EERE communications products.

Publications Manager Scott Minos manages the product review process. His colleagues from EERE Communications and communications leads from the technical offices also provide expertise when needed.

Communication leads or support staff should submit products for PGT approval to the EERE Comms mail box. Scott or another designated PGT member will provide final publishing approval, which is required for ALL publications and logos.
