    Background: GreenGov is a CEQ initiative focused on Federal energy 
and sustainability efforts. Past GreenGov Symposiums brought 
sustainability leaders and newcomers in the Federal, state, and local 
government, academic, non-profit and private sectors together to learn 
from each other, share ideas, and help develop innovative solutions to 
energy and sustainability challenges in Federal operations. By design, 
the GreenGov Symposium helps the Federal community save energy, save 
money, and address sustainability goals and targets under Executive 
Order 13514: Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic 
Performance and under Executive Order 13693: Planning for Federal 
Sustainability in the Next Decade. Historical information on GreenGov 
is available at: http://www.whitehouse.gov//greengov.
