EPRI
EPRI's Board of Directors voted unanimously to honor Mike Howard as CEO Emeritus following his retirement in December 2020. This resounding commemoration makes perfect sense. Now the Director of the World Energy Council, Howard, even into retirement, continues to devote his life to ushering in clean, equitable energy use and fostering a healthier planet for future generations. The winner of the USEA's US Energy Award, which recognizes preeminent energy leadership, he has worked alongside an array of stakeholders — ranging from regulators, academics, environmental leaders, to Wall Street executives and global energy leaders — to make these goals a reality. With the energy transition well underway, Howard's career now more than ever seems a deeply inspiring model for how to harness one's passion for, and expertise in, technology and environmentalism to effect profound benefits for all of society.
