A
year after its visionary
founder, CEO and President
Ron Phillips stepped down,
CEI's new management set a strate-
gic plan to focus the entire organi-
zation on quality jobs, a sustainable
environment and shared prosperity
for all Mainers, and help pave the
way for other rural areas to improve
across the country.
Phillips' successor, CEO Betsy
Biemann, who made her fi rst public
statement of CEI's goals at the com-
pany's annual meeting March 14, says
she, President Keith Bisson and oth-
ers picked the priorities based on the
belief that hard work at a full-time job
should yield a decent livelihood.
