The EPA Environmental Financial Advisory Board is a group of experts from the financial, industrial , academic and state and local governmental sectors which gives advice to the Administrator of EPA. Central to the Board's mission is research conducted by the Environmental Finance Center Network, a group of colleges specializing in the financing of environmental programs.
