From May 23‐26, CARILEC held its Annual CEO’s Conference on the island of Antigua. For the first time the association hosted a two‐man a delegation from Electricité d’Haiti (EDH) as a means of establishing and building long term relations with the earthquake stricken utility and country. Unfortunately, prior the earthquake earlier this year that devastated the country, CARILEC did not have any established contacts with the electric utility in Haiti. However, through the kind support of our member utility; EDF Martinique; who assisted EDH with some of its initial recovery efforts as part of a larger French delegation; CARILEC was able to establish firm personnel contacts with the utility.

The two‐man Haitian delegation consisting of Mr. Serge Raphael (Directeur Géneral) and Mr. Anthony Jean‐Baptiste (Senior Planning Engineer) of Electricité d’Haiti attended the CEOs Conference as well as the preconference 81st meeting of the CARILEC Board of Directors. During the board meeting and the conference discussions were held with Mr. Raphael and Mr. Jean‐Baptiste on the support and assistance CARILEC (and its members) can provide to the Haitian utility with its short and medium term re‐building efforts.
