Furthermore, the SVMG and a number of individual member companies also signed on to the Energy Conservation Declaration of Action, increasing our commitment to conserve. In an attempt to assess our efforts on energy conservation, and to present them to Carl Guardino and our Board of Directors, we are asking that you provide to the SVMG a very brief (one paragraph) quantitative summary of your company's energy efficiency results over the past year. This is your opportunity to be recognized for all the hard work you have done to help California survive its energy crisis. We are interested in the following information: -Adjusted for weather differences, how much less energy did your organization use this year vs. last year -What measures did you take to achieve this reduction (be specific) -Tell us of any unique or cutting edge approaches or technologies you have used -What are the greatest obstacles and frustrations you have encountered during this process We are hoping to receive at least 20 responses from our 190 member companies. Many of you are already aware of how well you have done and are ready to share your success stories with us. We look forward to hearing them. Please send your summaries to lgoldseth@svmg.org by close of business on Friday, August 10. Thank you & Best regards, Justin Bradley
