  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on October 19, 2022 at 12:06 pm

  Hello UAI Members,

  The time has finally come to announce this year’s Excellence Awards winners! This week, as winners are being announced live at UA Week, I’ll also be posting here on Connect to make you all aware. First up are two of our personal favorites, the Analytics Ambassador Award and the Top 25 Thought Leader Award.
  
  The Analytics Ambassador Award recognizes the lasting contributions, leadership, enthusiasm, and tireless efforts of an industry luminary who has committed themself to elevating the reputation of the utility analytics profession and improving the industry. Though always a challenge to select just one individual for this award, this year’s winner was unanimous. He is someone who is very near and dear to the UAI Community and we couldn’t be more excited to feature him.

  Please help us in congratulating Eddy Halter, Former Sr. Director of Enterprise Analytics at Evergy, as this year’s Analytics Ambassador!

  
  Next up is the Top 25 Thought Leader Award. The individuals selected for this award encompass what it means to be a community-minded leader and are dedicated to learning, collaborating, and growing the utility analytics industry.
