Planning for the Eastern Energy Expo is in full swing and we are all so excited to be returning in-person to the beautiful Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT. I am pleased to report that the exhibit hall is more than 40 percent full and 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 Spnosors: Sauermann and Seitron Americas. We thank them for their generous support and look forward to working together in the coming year.

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 2022, I would also like to draw your attention to the corporate members that keep OESP afloat. 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.
