Eagle employees – as individuals and as groups – volunteer their time and talents to a wide variety of charitable organizations and causes. American Advocates, a volunteer program launched in 2004, has 10,000 volun- teers who participate in various initia- tives. Employee volunteerism is important to American employees because it is the right thing to do and because it increases employee loyalty and pride to see American involved in the community. Customer loyalty is also increased, as customers see Amer- ican as an airline that goes beyond the services it sells to enrich the entire
renewable energy resource, and we are eager to bring its job-creation and clean-energy benefits to all parts of the country today,” said Rick Miller, former President of the National Hydropower Association and Senior Vice Presi- dent of Renewable Energy Services for HDR|DTA. Sum- marizing the report and echoing the views of the CEOs, Miler added, “Strong national policy will spur the cre- ation of hundreds of thousands of clean-energy jobs and strengthen our global competitiveness. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to recognize the opportunities for us- ing renewable energy as an economic catalyst and enact a strong RES that will bring these benefits to all Americans now.” RES Alliance Members Include: AES Wind Generation, American Wind Energy Association, Applied Materials, Biomass Power Association, Bluewater Wind, BP Wind, Covanta, E.ON Climate & Renewables, enXco, Gamesa Technology Corporation, General Electric, Horizon Wind Energy, Iberdrola Renewables, Invenergy, Large-scale So- lar Association, Mesa Power, National Hydropower Asso- ciation, NextEra Energy Resources, Pattern Energy Group, Renewable Energy Systems Americas, REpower USA, Rid- geline Wind Power, Solar Energy Industries Association, Vestas, and Wind Capital Group.
