Your Industry Ally
By Scott Pearson, vice president, CHS propane
Our biannual Propane Special Edition may not be new to you, but in my first column as CHS propane vice president, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself.
Some of you may already know me from previous roles as the director of propane safety and operations or working with our CHS energy equipment group, but I’m excited to be connecting with customers like you in this new role.
I’ve held a wide variety of roles across the company since joining CHS back in 2005. And while I came to CHS looking for new opportunities, it’s the mission grounded in delivering a reliable propane supply network with industry-leading solutions across the country that drew me to CHS Propane, and it’s what fuels my passion for the work our propane group delivers today.
Our newest facility, the CHS propane terminal in Yuma, Colorado, is a prime example of how we put that spirit into action to deliver for our customers. The opening of this terminal is certainly an accomplishment for CHS Propane, but we couldn’t have done it alone. Years of analysis, close partnership and collaborative problem solving between our propane teams, our retail counterparts and countless internal stakeholders were invested to leverage resources from across the enterprise and bring this asset from concept to reality.
But more importantly, we didn’t just rely on our internal partners. This project was propelled, in part, by feedback we heard directly from our customers. The need for more central infrastructure in the region was clearly communicated by local customers and served a key role in bringing this facility online.
With that in mind, I want to encourage customers like yourself to reach out to me with your feedback, questions, concerns and challenges. Don’t hesitate to bring your ideas forward. We’re here to listen and harness our relationships and resources to work, both at the highest industry levels and down to the local farm level, to best serve you and your customers.
