A Letter from the President of USMA – Rick Harrison

Melissa Ebel - USMA President 201009
Rick Harrison
USMA President 2009-2010

The entire supply chain has become much more relevant and complex during the last several years and especially during the last 18 months. Utilities, Manufacturers and Suppliers are all struggling with declining revenues. We continue to strive to meet our commitments to our customers, companies, shareholders and communities we serve. The issues we face have become more numerous and complex in and of themselves. Critical issues facing our industry are regulatory, financial, environmental, infrastructure, workforce management and unstable commodity pricing just to name a few. It is imperative that we collaborate with each other more than ever before to identify value and solutions to help improve our economic performance. We need each other, therefore, healthy relationships and mutual trust is critical as we move forward.
