Communications,
Database Management, and Conference Support
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office
of Policy asked EMR to provide writing, editing, and research; document
design, layout, and production; graphic design and original illustration;
on-site document tracking support; database design, development, and
maintenance; conference planning and support; and correspondence preparation.
Under this contract, EMR edited and
formatted major documents such as Sustainable Energy Strategy
(National Energy Policy Plan), Estimating the Costs and Effects
of Reformulated Gasoline, and Energy Conservation Trends.
EMR has also prepared briefing materials
for the Secretary of Energy's international trips and provided organizational
and logistical support for the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Annual DOE-National
Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Natural Gas Conferences.
For these conferences, EMR designed and produced three preconference
mailings, helped staff the conference registration and information
desk, and ensured that room setups and audiovisual needs were met.
Additionally, EMR transcribed, edited,
designed, and produced the conference proceedings. EMR also designed
(and maintains) a comprehensive database of energy-policy statements
that is used to compose constituent correspondence.
We also managed a complex referral database
for the National Electrical Contractors Association, called the NECA
Connection, through a hotline service. Organizations seeking qualified
electrical contractors to perform an array of electrical services
were matched with all of the contractors that meet specified cost,
geographical, and job criteria.
