NPGA Surveying Membership on Top Screen Results Now that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released its preliminary top screen determinations, NPGA has undertaken a survey of the membership to help understand the impact the regulations are having on the industry. Association members should watch their mailboxes for a letter and email announcing the survey. Respondents can participate in the survey either by sending back the form they receive or by going online to www.propanesurvey.com. Your responses are critical for us to determine how severely the industry is impacted by the regulations and whether NPGA will need to seek relief through legislative or regulatory action. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Remember, all information will be kept strictly confidential. Finally, all survey and association personnel associated with this project have been approved as Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) Authorized Users, as required by DHS regulations. This ensures that responses to the survey will be handled appropriately.       Propane Days 2008 Snapshot Propane Days 2008 kicked off on Monday, June 9 with various association meetings, including the Board of Director’s meeting, the Presidential Forum and Welcome Reception. Attendance reached record levels again this year with 311 paid registrants. We are pleased that propane industry representatives from 44 different states committed the valuable time and resources to attend this important conference.   Members began arriving on Sunday, June 8 and there was a steady flow of registrants for the entire event. The conference began formally on Tuesday morning. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and DOT Deputy Secretary Tom Barrett spoke on Tuesday morning and political commentator Tucker Carlson and Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA) addressed the crowd on Wednesday.   Both Tuesday and Wednesday were filled with members visiting their Representatives and Senators, and partaking in the House and Senate receptions in the evenings.   Visit the Propane Days 2008 page for more information on this year's Propane Days or to view and purchase event photos.      Message of Thanks from NPGA President   Dear NPGA Members:   I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who travelled to Washington, DC earlier this week for Propane Days 2008.  We had another record turnout this year -- 311 individuals from 44 different states.  I truly believe that this event has fast become one that is essential to our industry and our strategic goals. Taking time out of our schedules to meet with Representatives and Senators is extremely important and this past week allowed our industry to raise our industry's profile with numerous policymakers and inform them of the benefits of propane to the American economy and the global environment.   Again, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the industry’s advocacy agenda.   Sincerely, Rick Roldan
