Tom Skains

Chairman, President and CEO

Piedmont Natural Gas

 

"Natural Gas, the Economy and the Environment"

 

Piedmont Natural Gas was formed in 1951 and headquartered in Charlotte, NC.  The company serves over one million natural gas utility customers in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee and one-half million in Georgia through a gas marketing joint venture.  It's CEO, Tom Skains, will share why he believes that natural gas is the "good news story" of 2012 due it its abundance, efficiency, and the fact that it is a domestic product. 

 

Mr. Skains joined Piedmont Natural Gas in 1995, after nearly 15 years with Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation in Houston. Prior to his appointment as Piedmont's Chairman, President and CEO in 2002 and 2003, he served as Senior Vice President - Marketing and Supply Services. Mr. Skains has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Sam Houston State University and a Doctorate of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Houston Law School.

 Second Harvest Food Bank Backpack Project


Held monthly on the third Friday of each month, 1 - 3 p.m.

 

Backpack meals provide children at Buena Vista Elementary School with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations when other resources are not available.   Rotarians work together in a relatively small group to pack food items into bags that are then delivered to classrooms where teachers discreetly distribute the

 bags into student backpacks.

Make it a New Year's resolution to give to the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International!

Rotary clubs worldwide are making a push to raise funds to wipe out Polio.   Thanks to the efforts of Rotary International and other organizations over the last two decades, polio cases have reduced by 99 % and Rotary, along with other international organizations, are aiming to get rid of the last 1%.

In service to our members and our community since 1913!

 

The Rotary Club of Nashville is the oldest and most influential civic club in Nashville.  Founded in 1913, our club was the 94th Rotary Club established by Rotary International and is currently the 10th largest of the 32,000 clubs worldwide.

 

Our membership includes over 500 preeminent business and civic leaders in the greater Nashville community including two members of Congress.  Our members are people who look beyond themselves to their community, nation and the world. They seek the truth, let fairness govern their relationships, endeavor to build goodwill and better friendships, and strive to benefit all in every interpersonal relationship.  In short, Rotary members put Service Above Self.
