Energy Systems Integration Group Elects Four New Board Members
RESTON, Va. – The Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) has announced four new members of its board, following a recent nomination and election process. The new board members were introduced during ESIG’s annual membership meeting held in conjunction with the group’s 2018 Spring Technical Workshop.
The board of directors serve as industry ambassadors for ESIG and collectively oversee and ensure the association’s operations and strategic growth plan.
The newly elected board members are:
