2022 Annual Meeting

Colleagues,

I hope you are safe and healthy as we continue to navigate the coronavirus pandemic. It is at times like this that I am especially proud of the utility industry and our utility colleagues around the country, and the efforts they make to ensure our critical infrastructure has the electricity and gas they need to operate. Our industry is the lifeblood of 21st century society.
