ECS co-authored a letter to Congressional leadership expressing concerns regarding the August 7 Executive Order (EO), “Improving Oversight of Federal Grantmaking.” The letter was signed by more than 60 scientific societies.
“ECS is a non-partisan, non-political organization,” said Christopher Jannuzzi, ECS Executive Director & CEO. “However, we recognize the right and responsibility to engage when legislative or regulatory actions directly impact our mission, operations, or the communities we serve. Recent US legislation has raised significant concerns in our community and is negatively affecting our members. This letter exemplifies ECS’s commitment to upholding its mission and advocating responsibly on behalf of our members and the broader technical community.”
