Dear Colleague:

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Old Dominion University Board of Visitors Member Jodi S. Gidley. Ms. Gidley passed away this weekend.

Ms. Gidley, an Old Dominion alumna from the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, was a valued member of the Board of Visitors since July 1, 2013. She served on the Board's Administration and Finance and Student Advancement Committees and will be missed.

A Washington, Pa. native, Ms. Gidley received her bachelor of science degree in mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh and her master's degree in mechanical engineering from Old Dominion University.

She was senior vice president of mid-Atlantic operations for AGL Resources (NYSE:GAS) and president of three of its subsidiaries: Elizabethtown Gas in N.J., Elkton Gas in Md. and Virginia Natural Gas. She was responsible for all aspects of operations at these utilities, which serve 556,000 customers in three states.

Prior to this role, Ms. Gidley was vice president of gas operations and business process services for AGL Resources, where she was responsible for gas supply and capacity planning, gas control and measurement, LNG and propane peak shaving operations and business support systems at AGL Resources' utilities. She also held several positions at Virginia Natural Gas, including vice president of operations and director of financial planning and budgets.

In addition to her service as a member of the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission, Ms. Gidley was actively involved in her community and served on the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce and the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance boards.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, August 4 at 4 p.m. at the Spring Branch Community Church, located at 1500 North Great Neck Road, Virginia Beach, Va. 23454. Jodi loved flowers and arrangements may be sent to the church.

Please keep Ms. Gidley's family in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

John R. Broderick
President
