CPES Holiday Party 2018

Thank you for sharing your evening with CPES!

Where: The Society Room of Hartford   |   December 11, 2018  

CPES members and guests gathered at the Society Room of Hartford for an evening of holiday cheer and networking. The evening began with the presentation of our annual Excellence in Energy Awards.

The second was awarded to Dr. Peng Zhang for his outstanding contribution to energy research and academics at the University of Connecticut.

Later in the evening, Arlene Hiller was honored for her years of service with CPES. Arlene served as the first Executive Director of the organization, which began as the Connecticut Cogeneration Committee in 1985, and has been an integral part of the organization ever since. John Meeske led Arlene’s retirement tribute and shared many stories and well wishes. A standing ovation proceeded, along with remarks from Arlene.
