NRECA hosted the third annual Vets in Energy conference to boost the recruiting and advancement of the nation's veterans at utilities and other energy organizations. As in the first two years, the conference was heavily attended by chapters of veterans at a number of utilities and by utility execs who recognize the great fit of vets in utility jobs. Execs and managers from Arizona Public Service, Coles-Moultrie Electric Coop., Con Edison, EEI, EPRI, MidAmerican Energy, NRECA and TVA, served as speakers. Plus, Energy Secretary Rick Perry added his views on the value of vets in energy.
