IDEA would also like to thank outgoing Board Members Travis Hickford-Kulak of Corix and Joe Riemer of Trane for their service to the Board, IDEA, and the industry.
“As the district energy industry continues to grow globally, IDEA is pleased to welcome a slate of new directors and officers to our board”, says Robert Thornton, President & CEO. “Since our formation in 1909, the volunteers serving on the IDEA board have reflected a range of membership segments, including owner/operators, technology innovators and service providers, all sharing a common commitment to advancing district energy as low-carbon solution for cities, communities and campuses.”
Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to Scott Clark of Burns & McDonnell as he leaves the IDEA Executive Committee. Scott was at the helm as Chair during the onset of the pandemic and graciously extended his presidential term by an additional year to help guide us through challenging times. Thank you for your leadership and wise counsel during these challenging times - we are stronger thanks to your service to IDEA and the industry.
