One of my goals as ETS General Counsel is to assure that the group is organ= ized in a way that allows all of us to provide quality services to our clie= nts in the most efficient manner possible. One of the ways to do this is t= o modify our internal organization to better track the "functionalized" org= anization that ETS has recently adopted in the operations and commercial ar= eas. Additionally, we must continually revisit the way we allocate our res= ources to reflect client priorities. Accordingly, I am pleased to announce= that Colleen Raker will begin reporting directly to me, effective immediat= ely. Richard Melton, Lee Huber and Kim Wilkie will report to Colleen. Col= leen's team will have primary responsibility for serving the "new business = generation" efforts within Steve Hotte's IT group and Phil Lowry's Operatio= ns group. Additionally, Colleen's team will focus on asset purchase and sa= le transactions and financings, while Colleen and Richard will take lead re= sponsibility on pipeline security efforts led by Mike Nelson's team. Each = of these lawyers will also continue serving the numerous other clients they= assisted before this organizational change. Lou Soldano's group will continue its emphasis on serving the needs of the = rest of Phil Lowry's organization, including the key area of right of way a= cquisition and other legal requirements related to pipeline expansions. Gr= eg Porter's group will continue its focus on commercial and regulatory ac= tivity on the NNG and TW systems. Greg's group gets reinforcements on Mond= ay, as Bill Rapp is joining us from EES. Bill will focus on TW matters, an= d will coordinate closely with Tony Pryor, Maria Pavlou, and Greg and Dot a= s he gets up to speed on the busy TW docket. Dot McCoppin's group will con= tinue its role supporting all commercial and regulatory activity for Citrus= /FGT. Dot's group will also assist with TW matters as appropriate. Given the dynamic business we are a part of and the small size of our group= , the organizational structure outlined above is intended to be very flexib= le. Each of us will continue to be called on by clients to assist with pro= jects that don't fit neatly into the above structure. That is part of the = challenge we face, but also part of the fun we enjoy! =20 Please join me in congratulating Colleen on her new responsibilities and in= welcoming Bill to the group on Monday! =20 =20
