As part of the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) 2024 Convention in Las Vegas this June, Paul Rossiter, President of Energy Management Corporation (EMC) was named the newest Chairman of the Board after previously serving as the vice chairman for the last year.
In his speech to the Board of Directors on Wednesday, Rossiter promoted “Powering the Future” during the last day of the EASA Convention.
“All EASA members need to be ready to compete and win in the future of this industry,” Rossiter said. “Today, the three-phase AC electric motor we all know so well looks remarkably similar to the design that [Nikola] Tesla patented in 1888…Due to an increase in electrification, we are seeing motors in more places than we thought possible 15-20 years ago, and that is the beauty of the future. It’s ever changing and advancing.”
Rossiter succeeds former Chairman Sean McNamara, who is a Regional Operations Manager with Komatsu in Brisbane, Australia. McNamara joined with a long line of past EASA Chairmen and was presented by Rossiter with a plaque and pin commemorating his service.
Since 2013, Rossiter has led EMC in an executive role and was elevated to President of the company in 2018. Rossiter’s leadership has kept EMC going strong for six years and running, including keeping the company stable and profitable through the COVID-19 pandemic. He was named one of Utah Business Magazine’s 40 Under 40 in February of 2024.
EMC’s imprint on the electrical energy industry goes back to 1979, and portions of the company have been running strong for over a century. The company has been a leader in the work of variable frequency drives (VFDs), electric motors, and backup generators with its three-fold mission of safety, reliability, and energy efficiency.
Matthew is a marketing specialist specializing in VFD, motor, and generator applications. He has worked with EMC since February of 2024 and was previously an award-winning journalist covering numerous topics. He enjoys mountain hikes, being a father of girls, and wearing out the office popcorn machine.
