Tunes were provided by DJ Nick Strano and photography was courtesy of Mike Dwyer. Both longtime members of the chapter. 

 

As 2023 closed out, it was a fantastic night to spend some time with all the people who make the Long Island chapter what it is.

Message from the Executive Director
by Lisa Strug 

Happy New Year! I hope you and your families had a great holiday season. The OESP Chapters sure know how to celebrate the holidays as you saw in this edition of the OESP News!

 

We've kicked off 2024 with a great start to dues collection. If you haven't already, please send in your payment to ensure your continued active membership.

 

Invoices will be sent out one last time, both electronically and via mail. If you ever doubt an email's legitimacy from OESP, please reach out to Association HQ to verify. Your security matters very much, so please double-check before you click if you are unsure. If there's any trouble getting your invoice, let us know, and we'll resend it promptly.

 

To our Corporate Members: Many thanks for reaffirming your generous support for 2024. Your corporate name will shine in the OESP News and printed issues, plus don't miss spotting your brand at the EEE in May. Your ongoing support means the world to us.

 

Our sponsors are our backbone, contributing to chapter meetings, donating to Oil Heat Cares, and actively serving on local chapter boards. Next time you're considering a business partner, take a look at our list of corporate members. They deserve a big thank you for their dedication to OESP.

 

Let's give a big shoutout to our loyal advertisers! They've been steadfast supporters for the seventh year of the OESP News: Taco, R.W. Beckett, Suntec Industries, Carlin/Hyrdolevel, General Filters, Sid Harvey, Roth, Weil-McLain, and Energy Kinetics. Want your company in the spotlight? Reach out to us and find out how!

 

Know someone who could benefit from OESP membership? Bring them along to our early 2024 meetings. This heating season is prime time for training, and education is our mission. We're eager to expand our association and educate the future generation.

 

OESP thrives on new, engaged members looking to make a lasting impact on their careers and our community. Networking is key, and local chapters offer fantastic opportunities to grow your business.

 

Planning ahead: Mark your calendars for the Spring BOD meeting from March 21-24 at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, PA. Register and book your hotel room HERE.

 

OESP is hosting a FREE PA Tech Night on Thursday, March 21 at the Hershey Lodge, with participation by R.W. Beckett, Sid Harvey, Suntec, Taco and Weil-McLain. The event is free for all, but registration is required. Click HERE to sign-up.

 

Excitement is brewing for the Eastern Energy Expo at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT! The exhibit hall is already more than 60 percent full—a testament to our combined trade show's strength.

 

We thank the committed EEE sponsors:

Expo Sponsors: Taco, R.W. Beckett, Taco and Rinnai; Technical Education Sponsors: Carlin Hydrolevel and Weil McLain; Lanyard Sponsor: Sid Harvey’s and Own the Classroom Sponsors: Sauerman and Seitron Americas. Your support means the world to us!

 

There are still opportunities for sponsorships! Get involved and put your company in front of the industry's best and brightest. If you're interested in teaching at EEE, submit your proposals by January 12.

 

Head to our website to nominate deserving individuals for prestigious industry awards. We're also accepting applications once again for the Dave Nelsen Scholarship—sponsorships can truly change a future service manager's life. Get in touch for more details.
