Entergy Corporation 2013 INTEGRATED REPORT 12
INTRODUCTION
Letter to Our Stakeholders
Keeping It Simple
Clarity can be hard to find in a very dynamic industry where much is changing and uncertain. In
this context, we will continue to push ourselves to clarify our strategy, processes and priorities
as much as possible. Defining what we expect to achieve and how we will achieve it in a simple
and clear way is essential for our stakeholders and our success.
I want to personally express my thanks and awe of our employees for their hard work in 2013,
their dedication to Entergy and their belief in our future. I also want to thank Renae Conley, who
retired in 2013 after 14 years of service at Entergy, most recently as executive vice president
of human resources and administration and formerly as president and chief executive officer
of Entergy Gulf States Louisiana and Entergy Louisiana. Renae’s many contributions to Entergy
are too numerous to list. We wish her all the best.
In 2013, we expanded the expertise of our board of directors, adding Retired Admiral Kirkland
Donald. Admiral Donald’s 37 years of honorable service culminated with his eight-year
assignment as Director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. His advice and counsel on a
wide range of issues, including nuclear, will be extremely valuable as we navigate through
dynamic times and work to achieve our mission.
We thank all of you for your steadfast confidence in Entergy. With your continued support,
we look forward to executing our strategy and delivering strong performance in 2014 –
clear and simple.
Leo Denault
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
