What does NEUAC membership look like in practice? Connections, knowledge, and support for your entire organization.

From discounted registration for our Annual Conference and LIHEAP Action Day to member policy calls, timely LIHEAP updates, and a library of practical resources, membership helps your team stay informed and connected to peers working toward energy affordability nationwide.

This Membership Month, we invite you to explore what membership can offer your organization.

NEUAC membership connects your organization with a national community working to advance energy and utility affordability.

Members receive access to monthly Policy & Advocacy Briefings, educational webinars and recordings, materials from past NEUAC Annual Conferences, advocacy tools, timely updates, and a member directory that makes it easier to connect with peers across the country.

Members also receive discounted registration for the Annual Conference and LIHEAP Action Day, along with opportunities to exchange ideas and build relationships with professionals from nonprofit organizations, government and tribal entities, utilities, corporations, and other sectors.

Best of all, organizational membership extends to every employee—not just one designated representative.

NEUAC turns connection into action through year-round advocacy, education, and collaboration.

Our Annual Conference has brought utility assistance professionals together for more than 30 years to exchange ideas, explore emerging challenges, and learn from organizations across the nonprofit, government, tribal, and utility sectors.

During LIHEAP Action Day, advocates from across the country meet with members of Congress and their staff to share how the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program supports households in their communities—and why continued federal support matters.

We also provide advocacy tools, policy resources, data, training, and opportunities for professionals to learn from one another throughout the year.

Next up in our Meet the Team series is Liz Kelley, PhD, NEUAC’s Senior Policy & Programs Director!

When she’s not advancing NEUAC’s mission, you might find Liz hiking through the woods with her dog, cooking up something delicious, or dancing whenever there’s music playing. She also volunteers with local organizations focused on food insecurity and clean energy, and loves cheering on her son at his high school football games.

Say hello to Liz! 👋

⚡️NEUAC's Mission⚡️

Access to heating, cooling, electricity, and water is essential to living safely and maintaining a healthy home.

NEUAC works to increase awareness of the energy and utility affordability challenges facing income-constrained households. Through advocacy, education, information-sharing, and public-private partnerships, we help strengthen the programs and policies that connect vulnerable households with essential services.

Our vision is a future in which everyone has access to the energy and utility resources they need to live safely and healthfully—without having to choose between keeping the lights on and meeting other basic needs.
