Congressman Ralph Regula received Team NEO's 2009 H. Peter Burg Regional Vision Award. The award commemorates the late chairman and CEO of FirstEnergy Corporation, a regional leader who was the founding chairman of Team NEO. Ralph Regula, who recently retired after 36 years in the House of Representatives for Ohios 16th Congressional District, will be honored for his work to advance the region.
