FROM THE PRESIDENT/
PESA’s C om mi t m e n t By Leslie Beyer, President, PESA
Members, As the trade association representing the OFS sector, it is PESA’s commitment to do everything in our power to equip our members with the tools and resources needed to respond to the crisis and emerge stronger on the other side. We’ve been hit hard by recent events and we’re all looking forward to defeating the virus and beginning the recovery. Our commitment permeates everything our team has done since much of the world has implemented lockdowns and social distancing measures. We’ve maintained an active schedule of online meetings and events to deliver guidance, advice and best practices from within the sector and from outside experts. We’ve kept a close watch on legislative activities and guidance from government agencies to ensure our members have access to state and local orders, as well as federal programs designed to support businesses during the crisis. And, we’ve worked with policymakers, media and industry allies to make sure provisions that help the OFS sector are included in final policies. While keeping pace with the volume of information and the speed of change, PESA has also continued to look to the future. We launched our Environment, Social and Governance Center of Excellence to augment
PESA’s range of ESG knowledge-building and best practice sharing events for members. The new online hub provides a constantly expanding repository of ESG information and resources. In this difficult environment, ESG issues remain critical to the business and are at the forefront of many challenges we are currently facing. PESA will maintain its commitment to support our members with the resources needed to navigate today’s immense challenges on all fronts and emerge stronger when these unprecedented times have passed. The day will come when the world is ready to resume more normal activity. When it does, it’s critical the OFS sector is ready to unleash the innovative spirit that will produce the energy we’ll need to kickstart the economy and rebuild a prosperous future.
