Energy Task Force History The Los Angeles Office kicked off its Energy efforts with a program featuring Dr. Gal Luft, Co-Chair of the Set America Free Coalition. The Task Force now has over 40 members and has started on a number of initiatives to educate our members and improve energy efficiency. These efforts have seen some immediate successes, including passage of a Chapter energy resolution to encourage members to purchase high fuel efficient vehicles personally and in their business life and an employee car incentive program for local businesses and governments based on AJC employee program.
