The National Energy & Fuels Institute (NEFI) announced its slate of Legends Award honorees to pay tribute to energy industry leaders in each state for 2021. Susan Ware Page, president of Maritime Energy, was selected for this honor in 2021 and will represent the state of Maine at the awards dinner in September of this year in Connecticut.  

NEFI Legends Awards are presented to those who are industry pioneers and leaders whose experience and dedication serve as an example for all those in the heating and energy trades. In 2021, NEFI will feature an all-woman slate of honorees in recognition of the tremendous impact and leadership that women have made on the industry.   

“I am thrilled to be selected as an honoree for this prestigious industry award,” said Ware, in a Maritime Energy news release. “It is a great honor to be nominated and represent the energy industry and the state of Maine at this event.” 

NEFI has worked to strengthen and advance the market for liquid heating fuels through innovation, policy, education, and advocacy since 1942. The organization works at the local and national level to promote main street businesses and their efforts in efficiency, conservation, and safety. In addition to being a full service trade association, NEFI has developed the NEFI Education Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization to conduct industry research and provide education to its members.
