The SICA members who attended the three-day conference were three government officials with extensive experience in the field of lighting in the following countries and institutions: 1. Costa Rica, Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE), 2. Guatemala, Ministry of Energy and Mines, and 3. Honduras, Secretary of State in the Energy Office.
