The Missouri Weatherization Policy Advisory Council advises the department in developing the next year's State Weatherization Annual Plan and the implementation and general status of Missouri's Weatherization Assistance Program. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Weatherization Assistance Program assists the council in its duties.
Council Meetings
The council meets at least twice a year. The public is welcome to attend these meetings, which may be in person, by conference call or through Webex. The department cannot guarantee the quality of the Webex or conference call options. The department attempts to correct any technical difficulties as they arise, but the meeting will not be subject to change or repeat due to any technical difficulties.
If you would like to address the council on any agenda item, you will need to notify the department before the meeting. You can do this by emailing the council secretary at laurie.arnold@dnr.mo.gov if attending by Webex or conference call. If attending in person, you can complete a Speaker Request form that will be available at the registration table at the meeting.

Council Structure
The Missouri Weatherization Policy Advisory Council is made up of 10 members. Nine members are appointed by the Department of Natural Resources' Division of Energy. One member is elected by the council members. Council members reflect the relevant groups the weatherization assistance program represents. A particular focus is placed on low-income households, especially those that include the elderly, the physically disadvantaged and families with children. Members include, but are not be limited to, the following:
- Advocates of the Low-Income Weatherization Assistance Program clientele who manage or deliver program services
- Those who participate in or have a history of activities advocating low-income interests
- Recipients or eligible recipients of the Low-Income Weatherization Assistance Program
Considerations are given to geographic and equitable representation of Missouri. If you are interested in serving on this council, contact the Weatherization Assistance Program at energy@dnr.mo.gov.
