Thank you, George. Good Morning!

I’d like to thank Secretary Evans and Chairman Diaz for their excellent insights. Their remarks have set the stage nicely for what I want to talk with you about this morning.

It is also with deep gratitude that we wish Don Hintz a happy and healthy retirement! We are indeed honored to have benefited from Don’s leadership and his commitment to NEI and to our industry! We wish him and Arlene a world of fun in their next endeavors.

My thanks also go to George Hairston for his own long-standing leadership through NEI’s Executive Committee and as chair of our Governmental Affairs Advisory Committee, among others.

It’s a real pleasure to welcome him as the new chairman of NEI!

The voices we’ve heard today are those of visionaries, real leaders.

Yet now we stand on the cusp of a new era of leadership—in our industry and across the country.

This is my last planned speech here at the Nuclear Energy Assembly as NEI’s President and CEO ... as I plan to retire next year.

Apart from a new NEI chairman, we also have tremendous change on NEI’s Executive Committee and Board of Directors.

Looking beyond NEI, we’re surrounded by opportunities for new leaders to emerge. At INPO. At EPRI. At many of our member companies represented here today.
