Our Annual Holiday Party for PGE Retirees, held on December 3,2025, brought together 117 retirees for an afternoon of celebration, connection, and seasonal cheer. The room was filled with festive décor, warm conversations, and the joyful spirit of the holidays as former colleagues reconnected and shared memories.
The program featured remarks from three speakers. Greg Rife, President of the Board, welcomed attendees with a heartfelt message of gratitude, and reflected on the successes of our organization over the last year. Juan Gallegos, PGE’s Vice President of People and Culture and Chief Human Resources Officer, followed with an update on recent successes and initiatives at PGE, along with expressed interests for collaboration with retirees in the years ahead. Then, John McLain, Vice-President and acting Secretary of the Board, entertained the audience with several funny dad jokes before announcing Stan and Lynn Chiotti, Carol Maresh, and Leanne Sneath as honorees and recipients of Notable Achievement Awards from the PGE Retirees’ Board of Directors.
Guests enjoyed a delicious holiday meal, music from our beloved Two Bit Brothers, and plenty of time to mingle. Laughter, storytelling, and cheerful reunions made the event truly memorable—a wonderful reminder of the strong community our retirees have maintained over the years.
A sincere thank-you to everyone who attended and helped make this year’s celebration such a success. We look forward to ringing in the season with you again next year!
