2015 Integrated Report
Letter to Stakeholders
To Our Retiring Board Members:
Thank You
Lead director Gary Edwards will retire from the Entergy board of
directors upon reaching mandatory retirement age. A member of
our board since 2005 and lead director since 2006, Gary helped guide
Entergy during a transformative period, when electric utilities adapted
to technological innovations, proposed regulatory changes and dramatic
shifts in commodities markets. Gary leads with confidence, experience
and a commitment to creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.
His contributions have helped position Entergy to operate successfully
as a company in the years ahead. Gary’s influence has been recognized
inside and outside our company. In 2015, he was named by the National
Association of Corporate Directors to the NACD Directorship 100, a list
of the most influential people in the boardroom and corporate governance
community who play a significant role in shaping the greater boardroom
agenda. We thank Gary for his service to the board and Entergy, and for
the lasting impact he has had on our company.
Board member Steve Wilkinson will retire from the Entergy board of
directors upon reaching mandatory retirement age. Steve’s extensive
public utilities, accounting and auditing expertise benefited our board
and all of Entergy’s stakeholders. Steve served on the Entergy board
since 2003 and as the audit committee chair since 2004. Previously, he
was an audit partner with Arthur Andersen for almost 25 years until his
retirement in 1998, serving as director of the firm’s North American utility
practice. He has played a critical role in helping Entergy meet its objective
of presenting information that is accurate, compliant and meaningful to
users of financial statements, and provided valuable guidance to our
management team. We thank Steve for his contributions to our board
and our company.
