Thank you to everyone for your active engagement in 2019! I feel it necessary to express my thanks and appreciation to those dedicated to pursuing electric utility supply chain sustainability and helping the Alliance work towards its mission to lead the industry in minimizing any adverse impacts of our supply chains. In 2019, our Supplier Affiliate Membership program proved to be successful. We now have over 75 Supplier Affiliate Members (SAM), we have our first Supplier Advisory Board in place, and we are excited about the success of the SAM Practice Sharing Roundtable. This year we also welcomed three new utility members and held successful utility member Roundtables on topics such as the Social Aspects of Sustainability, Investment Recovery, Cost Savings, and Supplier Relationship Management. For those of you who were able to attend, you know that the annual Sustainable Sourcing Conference in Scottsdale was filled with enough energy and enthusiasm to launch us into an equally productive 2020. As we head into our 2020 Planning Session in Charlotte, North Carolina, we will discuss how the Alliance can position ourselves for continued growth and improvement in providing value to the communities we serve. I will close by thanking the leaders of the 2019 Work Teams and extending a huge thanks to the fellow executives serving with me on the Executive Committee: Ellen Angley, Eversource, Vice Chair Tony Tomczak, DTE, Treasurer Ann Becker, Arizona Public Service, Secretary John Lindley, Entergy, Working Team Lead Mike Haggerty, Con Edison, Immediate Past Chair I look forward to partnering with all of you to continue this journey we started in 2008.
