The policies guiding the FLC’s strategic operations start with the Consortium’s Bylaws and also address its advisors, volunteers, finances, and strategic partnerships with external organizations.
The FLC Strategic Partnerships Policy was approved by the Executive Board in October 2024. The FLC will identify and establish strategically aligned relationships with intermediary partners that connect relevant communities of interest (technical, geographical, market, State & local governments, etc.) with Federal labs for interactions.
