Sempra Energy's giving shows huge growth during Steve Baum's tenure at the company
GIVING GROWS: Sempra Energy's charitable giving has grown to more than $10 million per year during chairman and CEO Steve Baum's tenure. He retires in February.
|
Last year was a record one for charitable
giving by Sempra
Energy, a fitting achievement to mark the end of an era
as Steve Baum, Sempra Energy's chairman and chief executive
officer, retires from the company on Feb. 1, 2006.
Over the years of Baum's tenure, starting in 1996 as president and CEO of Enova Corporation, one of Sempra Energy's predecessor companies, the company has largely been known for its business successes.

Rising from the sparsely settled desert coastline
of Baja California, Sempra
LNG's new liquefied natural gas (LNG) receipt terminal
called Energía Costa Azul is taking shape, with

is worth a thousand words, then what's the value of the picture
on the holiday card many of you received this year from Sempra
Energy?
