On November 9, NEPPA held its first Annual Membership Meeting at our new Littleton Training facility. We had a great turnout with members, affiliates and vendors in attendance. The day began with the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony outside. Larry Brownell, the new Executive Director, Pay Hyland, the recently retired Executive Director, Savas Danos, the General Manager of Littleton Electric Light & Water Departments, and John Bilda, the Past President of NEPPA all spoke. After a group picture was taken in front of the building.
Everyone then went inside to the new conference room to hear a Welcome to the Members, followed by a brief address by Calvin Ames, the Vice President. Kristin DiGirolamo then went over the 2013 Association Budget, "2012 Election and Its Impact" presentation.
