Picture Energy
Each year since its founding ten years ago, the Public Utilities Fortnightly team covers the annual Leadership Forum of a tremendous organization that serves both the utilities industry and our heroes from the front lines to the power lines, Veterans in Energy.
It’s always a memorable event that draws a large gathering representing all the military services and many of the nation’s utilities.
Utilities highly value the talented members of their workforce who were in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Command, and Coast Guard earlier in their careers and now make up ten to twenty percent of utility employees. For their sense of mission, teamwork, safety, discipline, and can-do spirit.
Here we capture some of this year’s Leadership Forum, including the Power Delivery Panel, CEO Panel, Nuclear Panel, and Cybersecurity/Grid Security Panel.
As the Marines say, Semper Fi.
