“The Executive Energy Celebration did more
than recognize the inspirational character
of the Sharp Shooters Class of 2019—
it successfully energized those of us who
attended the event to accelerate our own
actions focused on moving the state toward
the realization of its full potential. I will long
remember the Sharp Shooters’ passion for
service and dedication to West Virginia’s
future. That passion for success is contagious
and just one of the many things that makes
the Mountain State unique.”
– John Duda
Associate Director of TDIC/Science and Technology,
National Energy Technology Laboratory
“My favorite part of the Sharp Shooters event
was the excitement that came from awarding
outstanding leaders in our community who are
dedicated to a great future. These people have
given the time and energy to participate in
our communities. I love the beauty of our state
and the kind, gentle, hardworking people that
make it so special. West Virginia is a great
place to live and do business. You won’t find
a friendlier environment, a better workforce
or a better place to spend your time.”
