Technical Assistance Providers
The FEC provides technical assistance to all Partners. Technical assistance providers are available to provide individual support to Facility Partners to aid completion of the baseline survey, annual reporting requirements, and award applications; or to answer questions and supply specific technical information. Any Partner may request technical assistance by sending an email to partner@electronicschallenge.net.
FEC Champions
FEC Champions are representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who are available to assist regional federal facilities with their electronics management programs. Champions are selected based on geographic representation, with one or more Champions representing each EPA Region:

Champions help federal facilities to:
- Become FEC Facility Partners
- Access resources for managing electronics, including FEC program information, fact sheets, and limited technical assistance
- Receive recognition for improving electronic management programs
Champions are also available to speak about improving the electronics lifecycle, and the FEC, with interested federal agencies and Facility Partners at their facility, at meetings, or at conferences throughout the region.
