Emerging Issues for 2027 Utility Facility Management

This shared practice survey is about the current and emerging issues affecting utility property requirements and needs, including: funding pressure, aging equipment, staffing capacity, resiliency imperatives, building technology, and changing requirements.

This short survey will help us understand the issues and concerns you have for the coming year to help identify potential topics for 2027 Shared Practice meetings. Please take a couple minutes to share the issues that you are currently facing and identify topics of interest to your organization. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Upon completion you will get the registration email for the shared practice meeting (if you request it). All survey participants get the survey results after the meeting.
