The Clark Group continues active participation in the National Association of Environmental Professionals (NAEP).
The 2011 NAEP Annual Conference in April marked the end of a productive first year to Lisa Mahoney's two year post as the Chair of the NAEP NEPA Working Group. As Chair, Ms. Mahoney facilitates discussion between NEPA practitioners around the country, and manages initiatives to help NEPA professionals and practitioners. For instance, with Lisa's leadership as Chair, the Working Group is currently developing a list of NEPA "Training Essentials." The draft of the Training Essentials was presented at the NAEP Annual Conference for discussion and comments, with the final document expected to be approved in late 2011.
The Clark Group also published two papers in the NAEP NEPA Annual Report. Holly Reuter and David Contrada wrote a piece entitled Deepwater Horizon: Lessons for NEPA Practitioners, which explores CEQ's report analyzing the environmental policies, practices, and procedures MMS used to issue leases for Deepwater Horizon and the Macondo well. Reuter and Contrada's paper summarizes major findings from CEQ's report, and shows what CEQ's findings mean to other Federal Agencies. Chris Conrad submitted a paper entitled Performance Management for Environmental Managers that describes The Clark Group's approach to using their Performance Management tool for helping environmental managers and planners improve effectiveness and efficiency while meeting their mission. Lisa Mahoney served as editor and managed the compilation and publication of this year's Annual Report. In August of 2010, David Contrada's short commentary, "The Economic Power of Feed-In Tariffs: A Note for Policy-Makers" was accepted for publication by NAEP's Environmental Practice, and will appear in the theme issue "Energy" in the fall of 2011.
