Eastern & Western Utility Group Meetings

EUG and WUG meetings provide opportunities you to meet face-to-face with your peers  to discuss current issues, share best practices, and see other utility facilities. These are great networking and informal mentoring opportunities for utility FMs.  The Mississippi River is the general boundary between the Eastern Utilities Group (EUG) and Western Utilities Group (WUG), but participants can attend any meetings.   These regional meetings typically have high participation levels because they are just 1-1/2 day with a smaller group that allows a lot of interaction.  Many attendees repeat each year.

EUG and WUG meetings are typically held in the winter and summer to complement the Utility Council’s general meetings, which are held in the spring and fall. Attendees from many major utilities have attended past meetings at:
