Chair's

摘要

I hope that all of you who joined us in Toronto for the 102nd Annual Conference and Trade Show enjoyed your stay north of the border and, more importantly, came away with useful information, some new leads and new friends. We thank Dennis Fotinos and his staff at Enwave for being great hosts for the first-ever joint conference with the Canadian District Energy Association (CDEA). Our sincere appreciation for an excellent program goes to Laxmi Rao of IDEA, our technical co-chairs Richard Damecour of FVB Energy and Johnathan Coleman of JA Coleman LLC and all the speakers and panelists who willingly volunteered to share their experiences. I also want to recognize my predecessor, David Toombs, for his work as chairman during the past year. Well-attended and technically superior conferences were held in Indianapolis -where Dave was both host and incoming chair - and in Miami. We look forward to continuing to draw upon Dave's extensive experience in the district energy industry in his role as Past Chair.
