Message From The Chapter Chair

Dear WiNUP members and non-members,

Welcome to another year of WiNUP!  Keep those renewals and new member applications coming in – 2012 is going to be a year you won’t want to miss.  Our Ohio Chapter will be hosting the International Conference October 8 – 10, 2012 at the Embassy Suites, Columbus Airport.  Save the date now!

Here are some upcoming dates and deadlines I wanted to make you aware of:

 Ø       WiNUP's Energy Affairs committee is hosting the February meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, February 21 at 5:30pm at the AEP building, 1 Riverside Plaza.  This meeting will feature a panelist of WiNUP members representing several different departments.  You will get to see how each business unit works together and see a well rounded picture of the energy industry.

 Ø       Thursday March 22 will be a Women's History Month event held during the lunch hour at NiSource. 

Ø       Deadline for Membership Applications is January 27

 Ø       Deadline for International Scholarship applications is March 31

 Please remember to check our website, www.winupoh.org, regularly for upcoming events and links to important information.  You can find a link to the membership and scholarship applications on the Home page of our website. 

 I am pleased to announce that three AEP executives have agreed to support us in the role of Executive Sponsor for 2012.  I am actively seeking a few more sponsors as well.

 Ø       Barbara Radous, AEP, SVP Shared Services

Ø       Laura Thomas, AEP, Managing Director, Regulatory Project & Compliance

Ø       Joe Hamrock, AEP, President & COOAEP Ohio

 We are still looking for Committee Chairs for several committees.  After our Kickoff meeting, I will send an update on which committees still need chairs and members.  If you have any interest in chairing a committee, please contact me as soon as possible.

The Programming Committee has been working hard on our meeting schedule for 2012.  An updated calendar will be coming out soon.

Thanks for your support and commitment to this great organization!
