NEPPA held its Annual Membership Meeting on November 13, 2015 at the Chocksett Inn in Sterling, Mass. The meeting was well attended by members of the Northeast Public Power Association including utilities and affiliates from all over New England. 

The meeting began with Calvin Ames, NEPPA’s President, welcoming the group and delivering his President’s report. Following that, Anthony Huey, the President of Reputation Management Associates, spoke to the group about Communicating in a Crisis. Kristin DiGirolamo, NEPPA’s Controller, presented the 2016 Association Budget and NEPPA’s new Executive Director, David F. White Esq., CAE, gave the audience a little bit of his background and informed the group about his future plans for NEPPA. Mike Kirkwood, NEPPA’s Treasurer, informed us of the activities occurring with the legislative committee, followed by Steve Kaminski giving his update on all issues related to power supply. To finish, Mike Cloutier gave a brief overview of how the 2015 NEPPA Rodeo did this past September.
