The Larry Kohrmann Leadership Award is given to outstanding leaders of the Alliance (i.e. Working Group, Committee, Advisory, or Interest Group Chairs or Board members).

In honor of Larry, former Senior Distribution Operations Manager at Oncor Electric Delivery, who through his Leadership in the Alliance exhibited these inclusive, collaborative, engaging, measured and calm leadership traits, these individuals have been uniquely impactful and have consistently dedicated their time and leadership to establishing and furthering the Alliance\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
