I have had a great year as president of the National Capital Area Chapter of the U.A. Association for Energy Economics. Thank you for letting me serve you.

I want to make you aware of three things before my term ends on July 31:

• 1.      You have received or will receive an email ballot for next year’s council (the governing board, or board). The current council has been speaking with candidates for some time now and we promise you an effective group of leaders for 2020-21.
• 2.      Colorado’s power grid and electric generation resources will be discussed in a webinar with state senator Chris Hansen on July 14 at 11 a.m. Chris is not just a politician drawn into the energy debate. Energy economics is his business and his CV blew me away. He is one of the thought leaders in the field. Current NCAC vice president Rita Beale will moderate.

• 3.      T.J. Conway, one of our current board members, will talk about how the world’s largest energy companies are preparing for the transition to a low-carbon future in a webinar on Friday, July 24 at 10 a.m. The event is being conducted by the U.S. Association for Energy Economics and you can sign up at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__o4C5aBLSh2K8nNoj-YtfA
