The NPGA is the national trade association representing the U.S. propane industry.

Its mission is to promote and support the use of propane as a low carbon, reliable, resilient, and abundant source of energy to meet the needs of households and businesses in the United States. 
Denis has a lifetime of experience in the propane industry having worked in his family’s propane business, Gagne’s Bottled Gas. Denis joined Eastern in 1976 when Gagne’s Bottled Gas was acquired by Eastern.
“Thanks to my experience in a family business where I learned the fundamental importance of family and hard work, and the experience I gained working at Eastern, I believe that I can help advance our industry and the customers we serve,” Denis said.
Denis has been active in the propane industry associations since the 1990’s when he first became involved the Propane Gas Association of New England and later held numerous leadership positions. In the late 1990’s, Denis started attending NPGA board meetings. Thereafter, Denis joined the board and served on and led several NPGA committees.
