There are more than 73 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the U.S,, of which 95 percent -----more than 69 million customers -----receive their gas from AGA members. The 2017 AGA Executive Conference will bring together approximately 150 energy utility CEOs and senior executives from throughout the United States to discuss such issues as pipeline safety, infrastructure development, energy and environmental policy, workforce development, and the future challenges and opportunities feeing energy utilities in the years ahead.
Our executives would value hearing your thoughts and insights regarding strategies to protect the environment while strengthening our energy future and economic growth as a nation.
