A Note from the Chairman of UPMG, Mr. Lonny O'Rourke
New Energy Horizons — The High Performing Supply Chain
 We certainly live in one of the most challenging times in history. Yes, we've heard similar claims in the past. However, as we look at the issues that are presently in front of us I'm pretty sure that many of you would agree with me. Globalization, economic uncertainty, environmental concerns and regulatory issues all have a major impact on market conditions and ultimately the supply chain. It is not hard to predict that this will be an interesting year.
Delivering supply chain value and stability is a fundamental of what we all bring to our respective companies and stakeholders. It is the common bond between us. The issues that we are facing affect all of us. The UPMG leadership has prided itself on providing the forum for delivering an agenda that addresses the key issues facing our industry and their impact on the supply chain.
Current events seem to have provided us with almost unlimited opportunities to address. This year's conference theme "New Energy Horizons — The High Performing Supply Chain" speaks to the challenges in front of us. The 2009 UPMG conference agenda is being designed to address the issues and deliver a strategic forum for education, discussion and networking.
Over 20 supply chain executives and professionals from the industry will present on a wide variety of topics. Here is the opportunity to listen to the current Administration and learn how the Infrastructure & Stimulus Plan impacts Utility supply chains. You will also hear the Utility perspective. Are you interested in strategic recommendations to address the impact that current domestic and global economic conditions are having on us? Come learn more about Smart Grid and supply chain strategies that support it. These and many other topics will be covered at the 2009 UPMG conference.
This year's keynote speaker will be Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and bestselling author.
Washington DC is a fantastic location to meet and discuss these topics. This is the center of our Nation, the place where policy and legislation is created and implemented. The new Administration and Congress have been active in engaging the issues to drive change that impacts our business and personal lives.
On behalf of the Officers and Executive Committee I invite you to join us at the 2009 UPMG Conference.
Yours truly,
Lonny O'Rourke
UPMG Chairman - 2009
