On October 19, 2024, USEA hosted its 100th Anniversary Celebratory Event at the historic Mayflower Hotel.

At this event,USEA recognized  the service of three individuals who have demonstrated dedication and commitment to USEA. For his many years of participation on our board and his dedication to the energy industry, Pulitzer prize winning author Dr. Daniel Yergin received our Centennial Lifetime Achievement Award. The Honorable Vicky Bailey received our Centennial Executive Service Award for her years of board service and her vision and leadership for steering USEA over the past decade. And to honor the dedication and selfless service of the creator of today’s USEA, we honored Barry Worthington posthumously by recognizing his contributions through the Centennial Visionary Legacy Award. In addition to these three prestigious awards, the evening featured presentations of additional honors to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional contributions to the success of USEA over the years.
