I am excited to announce the NY Propane Gas Association's Spring Conference. This event is consistently one of the top legislative conferences in the industry, and we expect record turn out this year. We have a robust agenda with diverse speakers and will hold our popular legislative reception again.
You will hear from leaders in the propane industry such as Steve Kaminski, CEO and President of NPGA, Jeff Stewart, Chairman of NPGA, Steve Goreham, best-selling author of The Green Breakdown, the Mad Mad Mad World of Climatism, and Outside the Green Box. As always, we will have experts on NY's energy transition - Joe Uglietto, Ken Girardin from the Empire Center, and several legislators.
