Happy Holidays from OESP HQ!
Planning for the Eastern Energy Expo is in full swing and we are all looking forward to our new venue at the Atlantic City Convention Center. This venue will have the entire trade show all under one roof and a VERY prominent outdoor location for our live-fire exhibits.
I am pleased to report that the exhibit hall is already more than 55% percent full, even though we are still more than five months away. This is excellent news and a testament to the strength of our combined trade show that has a strong reputation as the premier event for the energy and comfort industries.
I would like to highlight the sponsors already committed to joining us at the EEE: Expo Sponsors: Taco, R.W. Beckett, and Rinnai. Technical Education Sponsors: Carlin/Hydrolevel, F.W. Webb, and Weil-McLain. Own the Classroom Sponsors: AFS, Sauermann and Seitron Americas. We thank them for their generous support and look forward to working together in the coming year.
Sponsorships are still available and there are many exciting ways to get involved. Click HERE for the sponsorship prospectus and to have your company’s name in front of the best and brightest in the industry.
RFPs for EEE presentations are now open. If you have a topic you would like to teach, please click HERE and fill out the RFP with your information. Submissions are due by January 11.
On another housekeeping note, OESP membership dues invoices have now been sent out by email. For those of you with emails in our system, you should have received them electronically. For ease and convenience, you do not need to log in to process your dues. Simply click the link and pay online.
If you are ever unsure of the authenticity of an email from OESP, please contact Association HQ to inquire. We are happy to check for you, verifying before you click. If you have an issue retrieving your invoice, please let us know and we will resend it.
Do you have a friend or colleague who would benefit from membership in OESP? Bring them along to meeting! This is our busy season, but it is also the season that training is more important than ever. Our mission is education and we are always looking to grow our great association and educate the next generation.
The “Nearly 2 for 1” membership promotion is nearing an end as we get ready to close out 2022. Please encourage your colleagues to join now and they will not be billed again until 2024.
Registration is open for the Spring Board of Directors meeting, March 30-April 2 at Caesar’s Hotel in Atlantic City. Click HERE to register and click HERE to book your hotel room.
And, mark your calendars NOW for the Fall Oil Heat Retreat, which will take place at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs, NY, September 21 – 24, 2023. Please check back for details as they unfold.
OESP is always looking for people who are interested in making a difference in their career and this great association. One of the ways is by providing networking opportunities to help grow your business.
Everyone wants to work with people they know and trust, so get involved in your local chapter and experience the difference it will make for you. Please contact me or your local chapter president to learn how you can make a bigger difference.
As we look forward to 2023, I would also like to draw your attention to the corporate members that keep OESP strong. It is companies like these that provide speakers for chapter meetings, donate generously to Oil Heat Cares and serve on the local chapter boards around our region.
The next time you are looking to do business, check our list of corporate members and consider supporting them to thank them for their involvement in OESP.
And speaking of supporters, we would like to thank our loyal and generous advertisers for their support in 2022. Taco, R.W. Beckett, Suntec Industries, Carlin/Hyrdolevel, General Filters, Wohler, Sid Harvey, Roth, Weil-McLain, F.W. Webb and Energy Kinetics. Your company could be in the next issue of the OESP News. Contact us to find out how.
On behalf of Jonathan Jaffe, Meredith Levy, Andrea Klimkowski and the rest of the OESP management team, it continues to be a pleasure to serve the association. Our very best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous holiday season. Stay warm.
