- Name: Paul Egner
- Former role: The last several years of my time with Williams I had the opportunity to serve as the director of pipeline control, director of commercial operations and director of field operations for the Transco system. At the time of my retirement, I was working with our partners on several joint venture interstate pipeline projects for which Transco was the operator.
- Number of years with Williams: Right at 38 years
- Number of years retired: 2.5
- How have you been spending your time in retirement? I feel like I am still trying to develop a ‘retirement routine’ but I don’t think I’m there yet. So far, I have been spending my time performing community service, pursuing educational opportunities, fitness/recreation and some travel.
- Are you involved in any community/volunteer activities? I spend two mornings a week volunteering at the Wesley Community Center food pantry. I serve on the board of the Hermann Park Conservancy (a nonprofit citizens’ organization dedicated to the stewardship and improvement of a 445-acre intercity park). I serve on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo committee. And I continue to work with United Way Greater Houston during the Fall and Spring campaign seasons as a Loaned Executive.
- So far, what has been your favorite thing about retirement? I have attended classes through Rice University’s School of Continuing Studies covering topics including iPhone Photography, Migratory Birds of the Gulf Coast and The Sun and the Solar System.
- Anything else you would like to add? I have been fortunate to remain in contact with several colleagues from some of the customer companies that I worked with during my time with Williams. And if it’s too hot, or too cold for golf, swimming or running, I enjoy reading.
