November Newsletter: Leadership Announcement and Houston Event

2011 has been a remarkable year for the Wharton Energy Network. We are excited to work together with you to continue to gather, learn and share in 2012!

Dear Wharton Alumni

2011 has been a remarkable year for the Wharton Energy Network.  Current students put on yet another outstanding Energy Conference, this year with a record attendance of over 500 participants and speakers including John Rowe, Chairman and CEO of Exelon Corporation.  Morgan Lewis was kind enough to host almost 100 alumni for a wonderful and educational Alumni Dinner in advance of the conference.  We are excited to work together with you to continue to gather, learn and share in 2012!

You will be hearing from us intermittently about national news and events, but stay tuned for emails from Regional Chairs for news about local events.  Please be sure to log into either the Wharton Energy Network website or the Wharton Alumni Database to update your profiles including contact information.

And if you happen to be in Houston, come to Breakfast on Thursday December 1:

Date / time: Thursday, December 1, 7am-8:30am
Venue: law offices of Morgan Lewis, 1000 Louisiana St, Suite 4000
